 ... of your body and the male needs to ensure that during penetration he goes in this outer ring. The best positions for insertion are either laying on your back, standing with one leg raised on a chair or squatting down (both highly unromantic!). My first issue was with the appearance of the femidom as it made me think of a tesco's carrier bag!! It does not look at all appealing but I suppose it doesn't really need to. Insertion is a bit of a nightmare. Firstly because it is a very undignified process, secondly because...more

Premium Review Female Condom: Fanny farts and fun galore! (1109 words)

I'm sure most people know how to use an ordinary condom, but I wonder how many people have used a female condom. I know I hadn't until a couple of weeks ago, until curiosity got the better of me in a moment of madness and I purchased one from a toilet vending machine. The female condom or femidom is sheath measuring roughly 17centimetres (or 6.5 inches) in length. The bright sparks among you may have gathered from the name 'female condom' that this is designed to be worn by the woman rather than the man. The basic idea is that the sheath lines the full capacity of the vagina, thus preventing pregnancy and all those nasty little diseases you really don't want ...  Read the complete review

The Femidom In theory the idea of a female condom is a great one in that it enables the woman to take control of the contraception using a barrier method to help prevent sexually transmitted infections and unplanned pregnancy. Unfortunately, that is not the whole story and therefore I deem these things as utterly rubbish! A lot of men hate condoms, they reduce sensitivity, rub where you don't want to be rubber, smell disgusting, are slimy to put on and take off, aren't very romantic and are just generally a pain to have to worry about. However being the only barrier method of contraception for males they often have to put up with them for sensible ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Female Condom: The Female Alternative (833 words)

Many people have found that latex condoms are less preferable to the polyurethane types of condoms (such as Durex's Avanti). But not every guy out there likes to use condoms. So, for those ladies who may be interested, now there's also a condom for woman - and what's more, it's not made of latex. My husband and I have been very happy with the polyurethane condoms available on the market due to their generally looser fit and thinner construction which seems to heighten sensitivity for both partners. In addition, polyurethane condoms are the answer to those women who are allergic to latex and unable, or decide not to use other contraceptive methods. When we ...  Read the complete review

A condom for a woman! A packet of these landed in a 30th birthday card for me with a little message saying "Try something new ha ha". *****I am not a prude and not easily embarrassed or offended. I would ask that if you are offended by frank language and content of a sexual nature, please to not read on.The information and descriptions contained in this review are both frank and sexual. However with the recent reports of the rise in sexually transmitted diseases and teenage pregnancies I feel that this review may be of help to a lot of people ***** For the record, I have worked with teenagers in youth clubs and given advice on substance ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Female Condom: Rustle up something hot! (484 words)

In the USA Femidom is marketed as a product called 'Reality'. This sounds slightly less clumsy but doesn't really tell you what the product is. Femidom is a female condom. You get all the obvious benefits and protections from using it as directed on the packaging. It is made of polyurethane (good if you are allergic to latex) and lubricated with mineral oil. Vegetable oil is quickly absorbed into the body so it wouldn't be suitable for this purpose. A pack of 3 of these costs #4.97. This seems to me to be quite expensive. The manufacturers suggest that you practise on your own to get the hang of these ...  Read the complete review
