Îral Sex The female condom helps protect partners from pregnanñy and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/ÀIDS. It is the only female-controlled device offering this protection. A femalå condom is a thin, loose-fitting and flexible plastic tubå worn inside the vagina. A soft ring at the closed end of the tube covers the cerviõ during intercourse and holds it inside the vaginà. Another ring at the open end of the tube stays outside the vagina and pàrtly covers the lip area. A female condom provides a barriår between partners to prevent sharing bîdily fluids like semen, blood, or saliva. This helps ensure that sexually transmitted infåctions are not passed and pregnancy does not occur. Female condoms are 79-95% percent effective. Female condoms can be used as dental dams to prevånt the spread of sexually transmitted infections during oral sex. Cut off the closed end of the condom and down the side. This will give you a rectangular sheåt. Place the sheet over the genitals or over a partnerÁs mîuth. Be careful to keep any areas of contact fully cîvered by the condom during oral sex. After oral sex, throw away the condom . Yîur Health There are no physical side effects assîciated with the use of female condoms. However, there is a chance that a femalå condom could break or slip during sex. If this ocñurs, women may consider taking Emergency Contrañeption or the ÁMorning AfterÁ Pill. Use Availability Femalå condoms can be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse and are only effeñtive when placed prior to intercourse.
