To sexual life brought only positive emotions, you need to take care of contraception . Choosing the right protective device helps the doctor, but the freely available condoms, both male and female, are a reliable tool not only from unwanted pregnancy, but also from sexually transmitted infections.
What does a female condom look like?
A condom for women is a mechanical contraceptive, a guarantee not to become pregnant when it is used is 95%. Polyurethane is used for the production of condoms, which makes them a good alternative for people with latex allergy. Externally, a female condom is similar to a male condom, but it is somewhat wider and longer, and it has an additional ring at the closed end of the product.
A condom for women has a number of advantages, which include its availability and ease of use, the ability to wear a contraceptive in advance, and allow a woman to provide her own safety. In addition, with a female condom there is no danger of "losing" it with a sharp drop in the erection, which increases the degree of protection against STDs. To further increase the degree of protection from unwanted pregnancy, it is possible using spermicides, which are applied to the outside of the product in the area of the supplementary ring.
The disadvantages of this contraceptive are mainly associated with the wrong introduction - in which case it can create some inconvenience. In this regard, very often you can meet the question - how to properly wear a female condom.
How to dress a female condom?
The introduction of a female condom resembles the appropriate manipulation of the tampon:
- remove the product from the package and unfold it;
- take a comfortable lying position or put your foot on a chair;
- apply spermicide to the outside of the product;
- Take the condom by the inner ring and squeeze it to take the shape of an elongated oval;
- enter the condom, holding it by the inner ring;
- Push the product with your finger to the cervix and release - the inner ring must itself take the desired position;
- make sure that about 3 cm of the product remains on the outside.
At the sexual certificate or act it is necessary to check up that the partner member entered inside a condom, instead of between it or him and a wall of a vagina. For maximum comfort, a man can use a lubricant. When using a condom for women, it is also forbidden to wear a male condom - there will be a strong friction between these products, which will lead to ruptures. Remove the used female condom carefully to prevent the contents from entering the vagina.
Other methods of contraception for women
One of the newest inventions is the female liquid condom . This is a special spray containing nano-particles of silver, which when applied in the vagina forms a protective membrane, preventing the occurrence of pregnancy and infection of any infection.
Similar to female condoms, the method of use is caps, which are made of silver, plastic, aluminum or rubber.
Certainly, today various hormonal pills are very popular, which are a very reliable way to avoid unwanted pregnancies. But since doctors are not recommended to be constantly protected in one way, female condoms, as well as other mechanical methods of contraception, can be an excellent alternative to hormone tablets.
