Using a female condom is safe, simple, and convenient. Women and men like female condoms because female condoms
  • allow women to share responsibility for preventing infection
  • are easy to get — can be purchased in drugstores and some supermarkets
  • can be inserted by a partner as part of sex play
  • can be used by people who are allergic to latex
  • can be used with oil-based as well as water-based lubricants
  • do not have an effect on a woman's natural hormones
  • do not require a prescription
  • may enhance sex play — the external ring may stimulate the clitoris during vaginal intercourse
  • stay in place whether or not a man maintains his erection
