With the introduction of FC female condoms, protection from sexually transmitted diseases has been placed into the hands of women. FC female condoms are the first female condom to be introduced into the marketplace and they have received worldwide recognition and acceptance from both females and males.

For years, the only barrier protection for intercourse was the male condom made from latex. Now, introduced in the 90’s FC female condoms provide an alternative to male condoms. A female condom provides greater protection of the vagina, including the labia and external genitalia. Because it is made from polyurethane instead of latex, users can add any additional lubricant that they like including oil or water based lubricants and spermicides. Many people prefer a female condom because the polyurethane conducts heat allowing for a more natural sexual experience than with a latex condom. Also, there is no risk for an allergic reaction.

FC female condoms are easy to use, and can be found everywhere that male condoms are sold. The price for female condoms is generally slightly more expensive than traditional condoms however. FC female condoms give women an option when it comes to safe sex. Instead of choosing a birth control method that does not have protection from sexually transmitted diseases, women can protect themselves with a female condom.
