Female Condom, when using correctly and consistently, is a reliable protective tool against most of sexual transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancy.
It gives women the opportunity to share responsibility for the condoms with their partners. It also provides the alternative if the partner is unwilling to use a male condom due to personal, cultural, religious or other reasons.
Using Female Condom does not depend on male erection and can thus be placed inside vagina prior to the sexual intercourse. As it can be inserted up to 8 hours before the intercourse, the interruption of sexual spontaneity can so easily be avoided.
Due to the nature of the material which is used for making female condoms (polyurethane or nitrile) both the water-based and oil-based lubricant can be used. The characteristics of the material also make it strong, durable and usable for people who are allergic to latex. There is also no need for special storage requirements.
