The female condom is a barrier between sperm and female genitals that is placed inside the vagina. Some part of it stays outside and also protects the genitals from contact with mucous membranes. This is how this contraceptive prevents pregnancy and significantly reduces the risk of STIs.
If you use tampons easily, you will have no problem with a female condom (it is covered with lubricant). You can insert it just before having sex, as well as up to 8 hours in advance. Do not open the package with your teeth or scissors. While placing the contraceptive inside, avoid damaging it with your nails or jewelry.
Female condoms are made of soft plastic, which makes them suitable for people with an allergy to latex. Don't use male and female condoms at the same time. They can break from friction.
