4.0 out of 5 stars Try at least 3 times before giving up!!, April 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Mayer Laboratories FC Female Condom, 5 condoms (Health and Beauty)

Okay, so I was really excited about these at first. My fiance and I always use condoms, but he says that he can always feel it there and it's sometimes hard for him to fully enjoy sex (this is no line, and we have yet to have sex without a condom)So, we decided to try this instead. I did a lot of research before using it - and I would recommend the same to you. I found out that they are just as safe as male condoms, and all the web pages I saw said to use it at least 3 times before deciding against them. The first time, I hated it. I could feel the plastic moving inside me and the plastic ring was large and uncomfortable. The second time, it was about the same. However, the third time wasn't as bad. For me, I found that as long as we had sex with me on top, the female condoms weren't so bad. When we are in missonary, it still is uncomfortable, but it's not as bad as before. I guess what men say about the condoms is right ... because that is exactly how I felt! So, all in all, it's not the best sex ever, but giving it 3 chances was worth it. Now, my fiance and I have one more thing to spice up and switch up our sex life!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not too bad for a female condom., August 1, 2006

They take a bit of getting used to, but it's better for the woman than birth control pills that can cause blood clots or strokes. Not to mention the fact they are not latex so they are also better for the prevention of STD's and unwanted pregnancies.
