Female Condom – A Woman-Controlled Barrier Method | Take Control of Your Sexual Health

The female condom is a soft, flexible barrier device designed to be worn inside the vagina during sexual intercourse. It helps prevent pregnancy and protects against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Made from latex-free materials such as nitrile or polyurethane, the female condom is a safe option for people with latex allergies and those who prefer non-hormonal contraception.

Unlike male condoms, the female condom is woman-controlled and can be inserted prior to sexual activity. It lines the vaginal canal and partially covers the external genital area, offering reliable protection while allowing greater comfort and control.
