Femidom is a lubricated condom for women.
It is an effective method of contraception which protects against
both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

FC female condoms is the designation referring to both the original FC female condom
and the second generation FC2 female condom when mentioned in the material and
links on this product page, when necessary for clarification,
the “original FC” and/or FC2 are referred to separately.

The original FC female condom has been studied in settings around the world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint United Nations Programme
on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) encourage the introduction of FC as a method of prevention
and as an additional tool in efforts to respond to the needs of women and
men regarding sexual and reproductive health.

In their monograph The Female Condom: An Information Pack (1997), they concluded that

The public health rationale for introducing a method that provides protection
against pregnancy and STI/HIV is clear. Globally, health and human rights advocates
have been demanding that scientists develop fertility regulation methods that are safe
and reversible, under the control of the user, not systemic in action, which protect
the user against STIs and HIV, and do not need to be provided by a health service.
The female condom comes closer to these requirements than any other family planning method.


What Are FC Female Condoms :

FC female condoms are strong, soft, transparent sheaths that are 17 centimetres long
(about 6.5 inches—the same as a male condom) with a flexible ring at each end.

FC female condoms are inserted into the vagina prior to sexual intercourse and
provide protection against both pregnancy and STIs, including HIV/AIDS.

The inner right at the closed end of the condom aids in insertion and secures
the device in place during intercourse, while the softer ring remains outside the vagina.
