How to Use a Female Condom

Know the advantages and disadvantages of this type of bag. Before using it, you should understand the effects and disadvantages of this method of contraception compared to other methods. Here is an analysis of the pros and cons of female condoms: ^[1]

• Advantages :
  • Female condoms do not require a prescription and are therefore quite easy to purchase and use. You can buy these bags at drug stores and supermarkets.
  • Female condoms allow girls to share responsibility for preventing infection.
  • Unlike birth control pills, female condoms do not affect a woman’s natural hormones. (However, this type of condom can still be used in combination with birth control pills to enhance effectiveness.)
  • This type of condom stays in place and does not slip in case the man’s penis is not erect.
  • Female condoms give you more wonderful experiences during sex. The large outer ring is capable of stimulating the clitoris during intercourse.
  • Female condoms are made with ppyurethane instead of latex and therefore can still be used by people who are allergic to latex.
  • You can put on a condom a few hours before sex – and you can still go to the bathroom while wearing a condom.
• Cons :
  • Female condoms can irritate the vagina, vulva, penis or anus (in the case of backdoor sex).
  • It is possible to slip into the vagina during intercourse.
  • Women who use condoms for the first time will face a little difficulty.
  • Female condoms can make a loud rubbing sound during sex, although it can be controlled with lubricants.

Learn how the female condom works. The female condom works like the male condom, but is inserted into the vagina. The condom is large in shape, with a small flexible inner ring that is inserted into the vagina, and a large outer ring that exposes the outside of the vagina about 2.5 cm. After the woman puts on the condom, the man can insert the penis inside. After ejaculation, the woman needs to remove the condom from her body. ^[2]

• Female condoms can be inserted into the vagina or anus in the same way.
• If you’re already wearing a condom, your partner “shouldn’t” wear an extra one. Otherwise, these two types of bags will rub against each other leading to tearing of one or both bags.

Check the female condom cover. Before using, you need to check the expiration date on the package to make sure that the bag is still valid. ^[3] After that, gently stroke the sheath with your fingers so that the lubricant is evenly distributed over the sheath.
