Female condoms
The female condom is a tube of soft plastic (polyurethane) with a closed end. Each end has a ring or rim. The ring at the closed end is inserted deep into the vagina over the cervix, like a diaphragm, to hold the tube in place. The ring at the open end remains outside the opening of the vagina.
Female condoms can be inserted up to 8 hours before sexual intercourse. Do not use with spermicide and definitely not at the same time as a male condom as the friction can tear it.
Female condom should be removed immediately after intercourse, while the woman is still lying down. Simply twist the outside ring to close off the condom and hold the semen inside before the condom is removed. Make sure to use a new condom every time.
The female condom provides some protection of the genital area around the opening to the vagina during intercourse and may reduce the risk of getting or transmitting diseases such as genital herpes or genital warts.
Female condoms are generally not as effective as latex male condoms.
