How to use female condoms? Teach you the correct method

Many couples choose to use condoms during their daily life. Female condoms are also very common. This type of condom is placed in the vagina and can effectively prevent the entry of sperm. You need to master the correct method when using female condoms.

1. How to use female condoms

If you are using a female condom for the first time, it is best to practice how to put it inside your body first. First, choose a position that you find most comfortable: you can lie down, sit with your legs apart, or stand with one foot on a chair. Tear open the packaging bag along the cut and take out the sheath. The built-in elastic inner ring should be at the end of the sheath opening.

Use your thumb, index finger, and middle finger to squeeze the lower half of the inner ring. This will help you grasp and narrow the inner ring and insert it smoothly into your body.

At this time, use your other hands to separate the folded labia majora at the entrance of the labia majora, and push the inner ring as far as possible into the labia majora.

Then insert your finger into the sheath until it touches the inner ring, and then continue to push the inner ring into the vulva. The sheath is properly placed when the inner ring just passes over the pubic bone. You can insert your fingers inside your vulva and feel for the pubic bone, which is a few inches inside the vulva.

A small part of the outer ring and sheath will still be exposed outside the vulva. This is normal and there is no need to worry.

2. What is a female condom?

The female condom is an option for female contraception. It is made of polyurethane and placed on the inner wall of the vagina to collect male semen during sexual intercourse and prevent semen from flowing into the uterus to achieve a contraceptive effect. Female condoms can reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.

The female condom has an inner ring at the end that is inserted into the body and rests on the pubic area. The external ring should always be placed outside the vagina during sexual intercourse.

Contraceptive efficiency of female condoms: If female condoms are used correctly according to the instructions before each sexual intercourse, their contraceptive efficiency can be as high as 88 to 97 percent.

3. How to dispose of female condoms

How to use a female condom? When used, the female condom adheres tightly to the wall of the vulva, so after orgasm, your partner does not need to withdraw the penis immediately. As long as you are both sure that no semen has leaked out, you can remove the condom at any time. When pulling out the sheath, twist the outer ring while pulling it out slowly to prevent semen from leaking out. Put the used sheath back into the bag and throw it into the trash can. Never throw it into the basin to flush it away. Use a new sheath every time you have sex.
