Have you ever used a female condom before? Have you ever even seen a female condom? Many people find female condoms very mysterious because they have never actually seen a diagram of a female condom. Of course, when you look at a diagram of a female condom it will naturally be more technical than seeing one first hand, but it’s a good place to start.

Looking at a diagram of a female condom you will see that it is long, about 6 inches and it has a ring on either end. The female condom is made from polyurethane which is stronger than the latex of a male condom the condom needs to be inserted into the vagina with the inner ring keeping the condom in place. The outer ring stays outside of the vagina effectively protecting the vagina from fluids. The benefits to a female condom is that it does not require a man’s penis to be erect to put it on, it can be inserted up to eight hours before intercourse, and it does not have to be removed right away. With these features, female condoms have a distinct advantage over male versions because they do not disrupt the mood.

For some people, female condoms will always be a mystery and the only time they will ever see one is by looking a diagram of a female condom. However, with some of the advantages that they offer over traditional male condoms, they are worth a try.
