The female condom is a contraceptive and STD prevention measure used by a woman. This condom is specially designed for women and is inserted inside the vagina and it helps in preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases just like the male condom.

What is a female condom? The female condom is usually a soft and flexible disposable structure made of rubber (nitrile, polyurethane or latex). It is larger than the male condom and is inserted deep into the vagina to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. It is used before intercourse during sex.

How to use a female condom?

  1. Open the package: First, open the package of the female condom and make sure it is properly preserved.
  2. Fold the condom: The female condom has two holes – an outer and an inner one. The inner hole may contain lubricant, which makes it easier to use.
  3. Positioning: To insert the condom correctly, sit or lie down comfortably. Hold the condom's open hole and gently insert it into your vagina. Insert the condom in such a way that it completely covers the passage to the cervix.
  4. Make sure it is in the right place: After inserting the condom, make sure it is placed in the right place. Keep the outer hole outside the vagina.
  5. Remove after intercourse: After sex, carefully pull the condom out to remove it and discard it in the pack.

Precautions while using female condom:

  3. Check the condom: Before using a condom, make sure it is free of holes or damage. If any defect is found in the condom, replace it immediately.
  4. Use the same condom: Do not reuse the female condom after using it once. It should be discarded after one use.
  5. Combination with condoms: Avoid using a female condom together with a male condom, as this may cause the two condoms to rub against each other and lead to breakage.
