Female Condom

A female condom is a thin rubber tube with polyurethane rings at both ends, the closed end is inserted with the open end hanging out of the vagina. The man then inserts his penis in the open end to prevents the sperm from entering the female reproductive tract.

Since Female condoms are made of polyurethane, you wont have an allergic reaction or have to deal with the issues caused by Latex being abrasive, so you can enjoy the smooth feel of it inside you, not to mention its effective at preventing pregnancy and transmission of STDs.

Effectiveness

Female condoms are a little over 95% effective when used properly, and when used with spermicidal foam the effectiveness is nearly 100%. Furthermore, condoms provide excellent protection from the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

Directions

Before using any condom, always check its expiration date and then simply follow the instructions the package. Usually it will say to "Squeeze the closed ring at the end for easy insertion, and slide the condom as far inside the vagina as possible. Make sure the open end hangs at least an inch outside of the vagina to ensure proper use." Once properly inserted the woman should not be able to feel the condom in her.

To remove simply grab the exposed end, twist it and pull it down and out at the same time.

Remember the following points:

Never use a condom more than once.

Only use a polyurethane condom to stop of unwanted pregnancy and transmission of STDs.

Lubricated condoms are both more comfortable and less likely to break during intercourse.

For all forms of sex use a water-based lubricants or waxaline as petroleum based lubes will rot the condom (it will flake away in little pieces).

If you are performing oral sex, a dental damn works better.

Drawbacks

As with all condoms you must interrupt foreplay momentarily to put it in. Further, Oil-based lubricants such as petroleum jelly, edible oils and medications weaken latex condoms. So again ensure your lubricats are water based.
