    Where Can You Buy Female Condoms?

    Updated on 30 January 2023

    What are female condoms?

    Female condoms, often called internal condoms, are made from soft and thin synthetic latex or natural latex. They are placed within the vagina to block the flow of sperm into the uterus. There is a good chance that you have never used a female condom, even though you might think of yourself as an expert regarding the fundamentals of using male condoms. Female condoms provide the same protection against sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies as their male equivalents do. Nevertheless, that is pretty much where the similarities end.

    Difference between Female & Male Condoms

    For instance, female condoms are intended to be inserted inside the vagina or anus instead of being fitted on a man's penis. Additionally, they are significantly larger than male condoms. Female condoms have a success rate of 95% when used correctly. They protect women against pregnancy as well as infections that are transmitted sexually. Before any contact with the penis, a female condom must be inserted into the vagina.

    The presence of two rings is one of the most significant distinctions between female and male condoms. A female condom has two rings: the outer and the inner. The inner ring of the condom is designed to be flexible to assist with insertion and keep the condom in place. The outer ring protects the area around the opening of the vagina during sexual activity. The outer ring of the condom also helps prevent the device from sliding inside the vagina.

    But why are female condoms so hard to find when one can find almost hundreds of different types of male condoms available for purchase online or in stores. Male condoms range in shape, size, colour, and flavour. A male condom is not hard to come by and can be purchased at almost any gas station, grocery store, or pharmacy. Female condoms, on the other hand, can only be bought by prescription. All of this occurs even though female condoms effectively prevent unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Reports even suggest that female condoms are just as effective as male condoms.

    How to Buy Female Condoms?

    So to ease your trouble, here are a few ways for you to purchase female condoms without much hassle:

    Internal condoms can be purchased in retail stores, on the internet, and in some health care facilities. Internal condoms are frequently offered for sale in packs of 12. In addition, some local health centres and clinics that focus on family planning may offer internal condoms at no cost. But in most cases, a female condom will cost you more than a male condom because they are not as widely available. However, the protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) that you get from using internal condoms make the price of those condoms completely justified.

    The vast majority of genitourinary medicine (GUM) or sexual health clinics also keep a stock of female condoms. However, some contraception and sexual health clinics do not stock female condoms, so before you go, you should inquire about their availability. To avoid being disappointed, you can also locate the sexual health service closest to you before you go out. Female condoms can also be purchased from certain retailers.

    Points to remember while buying female condoms

    Now that you know how to buy female condoms, here are some tips for using them correctly.

    • Whenever you buy condoms, make sure that they have passed rigorous inspections to ensure their safety.
    • A female condom can become lodged inside the vagina while engaging in sexual activity. It is simple to remove the condom from the vagina if this happens.
    • Women who feel uncomfortable touching their genital region should not use female condoms.
    • It is not recommended to reuse female condoms. Start a fresh one every time you engage in sexual activity.
    • A date on the packaging of condoms indicates when they should be used. Do not use condoms that are out of date.
    • Female condoms can be administered up to eight hours before sexual activity.
