yes, they are simply called female condoms.
they are sold at drugstores (walgreens, longs drugs, etc.) for about 10 dollars.
it's just like a male condom but it has a ring at the open side that stays outside your vagina, and makes sure the condom doesn't slip in.
i think they are just slightly less protective then men's condom's, but only by around 2 percent.

YES hun you are right there ARE condoms for ladies, they are more the type of plastic as opposed to rubber [condoms]
The object of them is actually protect you from STD's etc as for a birth control angle I am not so sure I would want to rely on just that, the ones I have seen are very flimsy and I would be far too worried about it rolling up...............but you just insert them inside of you..............according to the directions ITS VERY EASY, but I am not so sure............

The female condom is a barrier method of contraception that is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, provided it is used correctly and consistently. Research on how well this relatively new method protects against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remains to be done. Its ability to protect against STDs, including HIV, is speculative but promising.
This female-controlled barrier method may be especially useful for women at risk of STDs who have difficulty convincing their male partners to use latex condoms. The female condom is marketed as Reality in North America and Femidom in Europe. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it for marketing in the United States in 1993.
Stronger than latex
Female condoms are made of a polyurethane plastic that is sturdier than male latex condoms, potentially offering less frequent breakage, improved comfort, and longer shelf life, even under unfavorable storage conditions.
This device consists of a soft, loose-fitting sheath and two flexible polyurethane rings at each end. One ring is at the closed end of the sheath and serves as an insertion mechanism and anchor inside the vagina. The outer ring forms the external edge of the device and remains outside the vagina after insertion, thus providing protection to the labia and the base of the penis during intercourse. This design may reduce the potential for transfer of infectious organisms between sex partners, particularly genital ulcer diseases.
I have also heard of a barrier type prophylactic that is for a woman to use to protect her partner from contracting any stds while receiving oral sex. I did not find this on this website, but you can probable search for it online.
Good for you for being proactive in protecting yourself!
