Generally, there are two types of condoms; internal condoms, commonly known as female condoms, and external condoms, widely known as male condoms. Most people are familiar with male condoms, and quite often, the female ones don’t get the discussion they deserve. The purpose of using protection is to protect yourself against possible pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. The era where using protection was the man's responsibility is long gone. Here is an information pack with all the guides to using female condoms.
What are they?
Female condoms are a birth control device that forms an entry barrier to sperm and protects against possible sexually transmitted diseases. It comes as a soft pouch that loosely fits in the vaginal cavity. The condom has two rings, one going inside and the other remaining outside the vagina, for its removal after sex. Female condoms are made from plastic, or synthetic latex, although the former has been phased out. The condoms also come with silicon-based lubrication.
How do they work?
As pointed out earlier, they are a barrier placed inside the vagina. That implies that they prevent pregnancies by preventing contact between sperm and the egg. Like the male condoms, female condoms collect the male ejaculate which is discarded upon removal. Preventing penis-vagina contact also helps prevent the exchange of fluids, which could otherwise lead to infections and diseases.
Who can use female condoms?
Essentially, female condoms are for women or people with vulva or vagina. A lot of women consider female condoms an effective way of birth control. However, they are not for everyone. As suggested by Hawke’s Bay escorts, here are some reasons that might bar you from using female condoms.
1. If you’re allergic to synthetic latex. Remember, most of these condoms are made from latex, which might be allergic to some people.
2. If you’re not comfortable. Having a bag inside your vagina might make sex a bit uncomfortable. In such a case, we suggest you go for other methods of birth control or protection.
3. If you have any vaginal abnormalities. Vaginal abnormalities might affect the insertion, placement, and positioning of the condoms. In such a case, we highly recommend other methods of protection.
How effective are they?
Although they are considered effective, they have slightly lower efficacy than male condoms. The effectiveness of female condoms strongly depends on perfect use, which means using them correctly following all the instructions on the packaging. Either way, using female condoms will protect you from pregnancies and STIs.
Where to buy them?
Finding these in regular outlets might be challenging, but we are glad they are gaining popularity. If the spread of awareness continues, female condoms will be available in every outlet that male one's are. Either way, try out supermarkets, health clinics, chemists, and community health-based organizations.
Footnote
Generally, female condoms are said to increase sexual pleasure and can be used with oil or water-based lubricants. If used correctly, they can be a great way to protect you and your partner. The best advice we can give is that you follow the packaging guidelines.
