5.0 out of 5 stars The best barrier contraception I've tried!, April 29, 2011

This review is from: Reality Female Condom FC2: 10-Pack of Condoms (Health and Beauty)

My boyfriend and I initially used male condoms, but had a couple incidences where a male condom slipped off during sex. We've switched to female condoms and since then there's been no slipping.

Once I had the FC2 inserted correctly, it was totally comfortable. I couldn't even feel it during sex - it felt like we were having sex without a condom. The nitrile material warms to your skin, thus it feels more natural than latex. The outer ring can stimulate a woman's clitoris, an added perk for women. My boyfriend commented that there is much more sensation for a man when using a female condom than when using a male condom.

FC2 has always stayed in place for us.

I don't know what people are talking about about a "crinkly sound". We have never experienced this. I should note that we also use a lot of good quality, silicone lube during sex, so maybe this extra lubrication helps.

I have to note, it definitely takes some practice to get the female condom inserted correctly. Thus, I highly recommend starting using FC2 while you are still on another contraceptive, such as the pill or IUD, or if not, then practicing on your own inserting and removing the FC2 before you try it out during sex.

Also, if you are the woman inserting it in yourself, you need to be very comfortable inserting something into your vagina and basically knowledgeable about what the inside of your vagina looks like - i.e. where your pubic bone is (if you insert your finger and make a "come here" beckoning motion towards the front wall of your vagina, you should feel the curvature of the pubic bone) and know where your cervix is (it feels like the tip of your nose when you're touching it)
The inner ring should be inserted past the pubic bone and cover the cervix.

I talked to my gynecologist about FC2 and she thought it was just as reliable as a male condom - she thought that the slightly higher failure rating is due to the fact that some women don't understand how to insert it correctly.

It takes some practice, but once you've used it a few times, it's totally easy and takes two seconds - and you can do it beforehand, so it doesn't have to interrupt the moment.

I should mention that I have never been pregnant, so I can't speak for how the product works for women who have already given birth.

I think this is an awesome product - I'm amazed more people haven't heard of it, considering how safe and effective it is? (maybe it would benefit from some sexier marketing) I hope FC2 become available in every drug store in America, same as male condoms.

p.s there are some good Youtub videos about how to insert.

After hearing about the female condom I thought I would give them a try. I found them to be great!!! And my boyfriend loved them. It takes a bit of practice to get them inserted correctly, but once in place the party begins. You want to be sure that the smaller ring (which is the side inserted into the vagina) opens up and is not folded. Note: Besure to use lubrication upon insertion of the penis. Though they come lubricated, a little extra makes all the difference.

These things are great!
They're slightly tricky to put in the first time or two (they're slippery on the outside and require some patience), but once you get some practice, all you have to do is slide it in, arrange the outer ring, lube up, and you're ready to go! I can't feel it at all once it's in there. It's not noisy at all, and he can't feel it.
It's nice to not have to worry about male condoms sliding off or breaking or ruining an erection.
