The female condom is a polyurethane sheath or pouch about 17 cm (6.5 inches) in length. It is worn by a woman during sex. It entirely lines the vagina and it helps to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV.

At each end of the condom there is a flexible ring. At the closed end of the sheath, the flexible ring is inserted into the vagina to hold the female condom in place. At the other open end of the sheath, the ring stays outside the vulva at the entrance to the vagina. This ring acts as a guide during penetration and it also stops the sheath bunching up inside the vagina.


There is silicone-based lubricant on the inside of the condom, but additional lubrication can be used. The condom does not contain spermicide. The female condom should not be used at the same time as a latex male condom because the friction between the two condoms may cause the condoms to break.

The female condom has been available in Europe since 1992 and it was approved in 1993 by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is available in many countries, at least in limited quantities, throughout the world. The female condom carries various brand names in different countries including, FC Female Condom, Reality, Femidom, Dominique, Femy, Myfemy, Protectiv' and Care.


Advantages:

The female condom will protect against most STDs and pregnancy if used correctly

It can be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse so it does not interfere with the moment

The polyurethane is thin and conducts heat well so sensation is preserved

The female condom can be used with oil-based lubricants

No special storage requirements are needed because polyurethane is not affected by changes in temperature and dampness.
The expiry date for female condoms is 5 years from the date of manufacture.



Disadvantages:

The outer ring is visible outside the vagina, which can make some women feel self-conscious

The female condom can make noises during intercourse. Adding more lubricant can help this problem.

Some women find the female condom hard to insert and to remove

It has a higher failure rate in preventing pregnancy than non-barrier methods such as the pill

It is relatively expensive and relatively limited in availability in some countries

It is recommended that the female condom is only used once

I was given a sample one once to try. I dont think i actually used it 'in action' but i got it out of the wrapping and looked at it. It is a bit like inserting a plastic bag into the vagina. The task of putting it in cannot be made sexy in the least and i should think it would make funny noises and not be very nice for the man involved. Due to it's nature a male condom fits snugly and although it might reduce sensation slightly i would still say it was a better option for the man than the woman wearing a femdom.

I can't see why it would be painful to use, or even particularly messy.

Anything is worth a try if it seems like a good idea for yourself and your partner, although they are more expensive.

If i had to choose between a cap and a femdom, i'd choose the cap.

I think they bombed! It was called the femidom and was like using an empty crisp packet - my hubbie and I tried one once for a laugh when our relationship was in its very early stages (over a decade ago!) cant say I have never seen them on shelves in recent years
