What is a Female Condom
Female Condom is a tool – a pouch with inner and outer ring which, used during sexual intercourse, provides significant protection against sexual transmitted infections (STIs) such as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, chlamydia and others. As some calculations and research show, based on correct and consistent use, using Female Condom can reduce up to 97,1 % reduction in the risk of HIV infection for each sexual intercourse.

It is also an unintended pregnancy prevention tool which, during sexual intercourse worn internally by the receptive partner, blocks semen from entering the person’s body. It is female-initiated method for contraception and protection against STIs therefore it is a good alternative for women which partners are unwilling to use male condom as a mean of protection during sexual intercourse.
What materials are used for making a Female Condom
Female Condom is made of polyurethane – a material thinner and stronger than latex which makes it strong and durable – the expiry date is 5 years from the manufacture date. Due to the polyurethane characteristic there is no need of special storage requirements as the material is not affected by changes in humidity and temperature.
The researches verify that the Female Condom has no serious side effects, doesn’t cause significant skin irritation, alter vaginal fauna, nor cause allergic reaction or vaginal trauma. Considering that, it is a good alternative to people sensitive to latex (used to in most of male condoms) as polyurethane doesn’t produce irritation or allergic reaction to their skin.
Where can female condoms be found
Female Condoms can be found in drugstores and some supermarkets. They are not as easy to find as male condos so you will probably have to check in some well stocked drugstores. They can also be ordered online and discreetly sent to your home.
