Femidoms

The Femidom:

Contrary to many men's wishful thinking, this is not a condom for a well-hung male, but rather another barrier method, an alternative to the Cap. The 'female' condom is a polyurethane sheath, which is inserted into the vagina, protects against sexually transmitted disease and unwanted pregnancy, but often needs a bit of getting used to. They are not as popular as male condoms, but give the female control over the use of barrier methods, so if a male refuses to wear condom (and you still want to have sex with him!), you can opt for one of these. Best used in conjunction with another method of contraception.

How to fit the Femidom:

• Hold the inner ring at the closed end. Then insert the femidom into vagina as far back as you can go so the inner ring rests on the pubic bone. The outer ring should lie to your skin outside the vagina
• Check the penis actually goes inside the femidom and not between the condom and the vagina
• It's loose fitting and may move around during sex, but you will be protected as long as the penis stays inside. Hold and twist the outer rim of the femidom to keep the semen inside while you remove it.
