    Family Planning

    Method
    Female Condom
    Female condom
    • also known as an internal condom, is a barrier contraceptive device that is
    inserted into the vagina before sex to prevent pregnancy and reduce the
    risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
    • It consists of an inner ring that covers the cervix and an outer, open ring
    that is placed against the vaginal opening.
    How to Use
    1. Insertion: The female condom is a thin, soft pouch with a flexible ring at
    each end. One end is closed and is inserted deep into the vagina, while the
    other end remains outside, covering the vulva.
    2. During Intercourse: The female condom acts as a barrier, preventing
    sperm from entering the vagina and reducing skin-to-skin contact, thus
    lowering the risk of STI transmission.
    3. Removal: After intercourse, the outer ring is twisted to keep semen inside,
    and the condom is gently pulled out of the vagina.
    Advantages:
    1. Control: Unlike male condoms, which require cooperation from the male
    partner, female condoms offer women more control over their sexual
    health.
    2. STI Protection: Female condoms provide protection against both
    pregnancy and STIs, including HIV.
    3. No Side Effects: They don't contain hormones, so they don't interfere with
    natural hormonal processes or cause hormonal side effects.
    4. Non-allergenic: Made of nitrile or polyurethane, they are suitable for
    people with latex allergies.
    5. Can Be Inserted Prior to Intercourse: Unlike male condoms, female
    condoms can be inserted up to eight hours before sex, giving more
    flexibility in planning.
    Disadvantages:
    1. Availability: Female condoms can be more expensive than male condoms
    and might not be as readily available.
    2. Learning Curve: Some women may find insertion tricky at first, and it
    may take practice to become comfortable using them.
    3. Reduced Sensation: Some users report that female condoms reduce
    sensation during sex compared to no condom or male condoms.
    4. Noise: The material of female condoms can sometimes make noise during
    intercourse, which may be distracting or off-putting for some partners.
    5. Availability: In some regions, female condoms may be less accessible
    compared to male condoms, limiting their widespread use.
