Abstract

This article briefly discusses the female condom and presents step-by-step instructions on how to use it. Although the female condom costs much more than the male condom, many women who have learned how to use it properly like it. The female condom is made of a durable material called polythene and can be inserted anytime, from several hours before sex to immediately before the penis comes into contact with the vagina. It can also be used during anal sex. While it is recommended that a new female condom be used each time a couple has sex, some women report that they have successfully re-used the female condom after washing and relubricating it.
