The female condom is used during intercourse to prevent unwanted pregnancies and to protect against sexually transmitted diseases.The female condom is available in most pharmacies and some supermarkets and is not difficult to use if you learn the skills. With the correct use of the female condom, the chance of getting pregnant is 5 out of 100 within a year. If you want to properly use the female condom, follow these steps.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Preparing to Use the Female Condom

1. 1 Explore the advantages and disadvantages of the female condom. Before choosing the female condom as a contraceptive method, examine its advantages and disadvantages compared to other methods of contraception. Below are the advantages and disadvantages of the female condom:
   • Advantages:
     • The female condom can be easily obtained as it is sold without a doctor's prescription. You can buy it at most pharmacies and some supermarkets.
     • Female condoms enable women to share the responsibility of protecting themselves from infections with men.
     • Unlike hormonal pills, the female condom does not affect the hormonal background of the female body (although, of course, it can be used together with hormonal pills as an additional means of protection).
     • It will stay in place even if the man runs out of erection.
     • It can make your sex life more varied. The outer ring can stimulate the clitoris during vaginal intercourse.
     • The female condom is made of polyurethane and therefore can be used by people with latex allergies.
     • It can be inserted a few hours before intercourse, and you can go to the toilet without pulling out a condom.
   • Flaws:
     • The female condom can irritate the vagina, vulva, penis, or anus (if used anally).
     • It can slip into the vagina during intercourse.
     • You may have difficulty inserting a condom, especially if this is your first time.
     • The female condom can make louder noises during sex, although this can be controlled with lubricant.
2. 2 Understand how the female condom works. The principle of the female condom is the same as the male condom, only it is inserted into the vagina. It even looks like a large condom, except that it has a flexible inner ring that fits into the vagina and an outer ring that stays outside, about 3 centimeters from the vagina. After inserting a condom into the vagina, the man can insert the penis into the condom. After ejaculation, the condom must be pulled out.
   • The female condom can be inserted both into the vagina and into the anus, and it is done in much the same way.
   • Remember that if you use a female condom, a man should not use a male condom at the same time. This will create friction that can cause one or two condoms to break.
3. 3 Examine the condom package. Check the expiration date on the packaging before use to make sure you can still use it. Then, smooth the package with your fingers to distribute the lubricant evenly throughout the package.

Method 2 of 3: Using a female condom.

1. 1 Try a female condom. Although the price of a female condom is usually about 120 rubles, and you can use it only once, we advise you to try using it in advance, rather than trying it for the first time just before sex. Although using the female condom is not difficult once you learn it, you should try it yourself at least once or twice to make sure you can get it right when you need it.
2. 2 Remove the condom from the package. When you decide to try a condom, rip the top of the package open and remove the condom.
3. 3 Apply some spermicide or lubricant to the outside of the closed end of the condom. Using a spermicide with a female condom can further reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancy. Although the female condom is already lubricated, additional lubrication will make it easier to insert and use.
4. 4 Find a comfortable position. To insert the female condom, you need to be in a comfortable position. It's like inserting a tampon: you need to be in a comfortable position to insert the condom into your vagina. You can squat on the floor, lie down, or put one leg on a chair.
5. 5 Squeeze the inner ring of the condom together. Hold the ring the same way you would hold a pencil. Since the condom will be a little slippery due to the lubricant, make sure you hold it tight enough before inserting it.
6. 6 Insert the inner ring and condom into your vagina. Insert it in the same way as you would insert a tampon. Move it up with your finger.
7. 7 Push the inner ring up until it reaches the cervix. After the condom reaches the cervix, it will expand on its own and you will not feel it. Again, inserting a female condom is very similar to inserting a tampon: if you feel it inside, then you haven't inserted it correctly.
8. 8 Pull your finger out. Make sure the outer ring hangs on the outside at least 3 centimeters from the opening of your vagina. If it hangs further, you should check if the inner ring is inserted correctly.
9. 9 Insert your partner's penis into the female condom. After you have inserted the condom and are ready to have sex, your partner should insert their penis into the outer ring, which is outside the vagina. You can help him insert his cock into the condom correctly. Make sure that his penis fits into the condom and not between the condom and the vaginal wall.
10. 10 Have sex. It is normal for the female condom to move from side to side during sex. If the inner ring is inside and your partner's penis is inside the condom, everything is fine and you can continue. If the penis slips out or the condom becomes wide, you can re-insert it if your partner hasn't finished yet. After your partner has finished, you can pull out and discard the female condom.
    • If you hear loud noises from behind a condom during sex, you can add more lubricant.

Method 3 of 3: Removing the Female Condom

1. 1 Squeeze and twist the outer ring. Squeeze the ring firmly before screwing it on. This will prevent the semen from leaking out of the condom.
2. 2 Gently pull the condom out of your vagina or anus. Do this slowly while holding the top of the condom.
3. 3 Throw away the condom. As with the male condom, the female condom can only be used once. Just throw it in the trash, don't flush it down the toilet.

Tips

• Add lubricant if noises occur when using a condom.
• If the inner ring is uncomfortable for you, you can try inserting it so that it is behind the cervix.
• Try different positions of the condom to find the position that is most comfortable for you.
• Be careful not to break the condom.

Warnings

• Throw away the used condom in the trash. Don't flush it down the toilet.
• The female condom cannot be reused, nor can the male condom be reused.
• Never use a male and female condom at the same time. Friction can cause one or two condoms to break or slide, or it can cause the outer ring to slide inside the vagina.
• ALWAYS use a condom.If your partner refuses, just say that you won't have sex until he agrees.
