Who Ever Heard of a Female Condom?

The female condom is a relatively recent and little known product that every woman (and man!) should add to her personal safe sex kit. Although less well known than the male condom, female condoms offer many advantages.

A lot of people have never heard of female condoms, and it is often difficult to find them at your local store. Planning ahead to buy female condoms online is a good idea.

Constructed of strong polyurethane, the female condom has a soft ring on each end. The inner ring is inserted into the vagina and holds the condom in place. The outer ring stays on the outside and helps the condom partially cover the labia. Because it covers a larger area, the female condom protect against STD’s better than the traditional male condom.

Vaccinations and oral contraceptives do not make sex safe. You should still use a condom every time you have sex, unless you are in a monogamous relationship or want to get pregnant. If your partner resists putting a condom on every time you have sex, you can take control by using female condoms.

In addition to better disease prevention and giving the female partner greater control of her situation, female condoms have other advantages:

The thin polyurethane conducts heat well and many users say they provide greater sensitivity than latex condoms.
Many males prefer for their partner to use a female condom. The condom can be inserted well ahead of time, so its use does not interfere with the spontaneity of intercourse.
Its polyurethane construction eliminates the possibility of latex allergies.

So, try out something new. You and your partner might decide female condoms are the only way to go on the road to continued safe sex! If your local store does not stock them, try buying female condoms online (you can save money that way, too!).
