Female condoms are a barrier method of contraception worn inside the vagina. They prevent pregnancy by stopping sperm meeting an egg.

A female condom can be put into the vagina before sex, but make sure the penis does not come into contact with the vagina before the condom has been put in.

Semen can still come out of the penis even before a man has had an orgasm (fully ejaculated).

When used correctly, condoms are the only method of contraception that protects against both pregnancy and STIs.

Advantages:

• Female condoms help to protect both partners from STIs, including HIV.
• When used correctly, they're a reliable method of preventing pregnancy.
• It's a form of contraception you only need to use when you have sex.
• There are no serious side effects.

Disadvantages:

• Some couples find that putting in a condom interrupts sex. To get around this, insert it in advance or try to make doing so a part of foreplay.
• Female condoms are very strong, but they may split or tear if not used properly.
• They're not as widely available as male condoms and can be more expensive.

I have heard about female condoms and they are often used by working ladies in case condoms become a nuisance for them. Or they get a customer once in a while who is not eager to use a condom
