Female condoms are not a new option among contraceptives, however, it seems to be one of the very few explored by people. The internal condoms have been upgraded and offer revamped features and better protection.
However, there are only a few brands in the Indian market that sell them. Cupid Angel, Velvet, PeeSafe Domina, Origami, VA Wow, FC2 and Rufus are some companies that sell packs at reasonable prices. For example, a pack of three Velvet female condoms will cost you around ₹199.
With this article, we will discuss a few facts about female condoms that we bet you didn't know.
Elevated Pleasure
If you thought that a female condom could hinder pleasure during sex, you could not be more wrong. It is actually pleasurable for both partners, especially in a heterosexual relationship.
The outer ring of the condom resides around the clitoris and rubs against it during penetrative sex. The inner ring stimulates pleasure points on the head of the male genitalia.
Moreover, a female condom is wider than a male condom and comes pre-lubricated, making it easier to insert. It is also safe to use with silicone and water-based lubricants.
Insertion Is Not Awkward
Many people think the insertion of condoms can be an awkward act. However, much like a male condom, a female condom can be inserted quite easily while lying down, sitting, standing, or squatting.
You might need a little help or practise to get the hang of it, but everything will fall into place eventually, and before you realise it, you will be a pro at it. You can insert it in the beginning too, before things even start to heat up between you and your partner.
Dual Protection
The whole point of using a condom is to prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. When you use a female condom, you get protection from both of them just like a male condom.
Using contraception that can offer dual protection also helps many women feel liberated and increases their comfort during intercourse. This prevents any terrifying thoughts from building up, and it can be inserted about eight hours before you even go about enjoying your fantasies.
Improved Foreplay
A female condom can improve action during foreplay. It can set the mood with the outer ring stimulating the clitoris (facts about clitoris). The extra arousal can be a turn-on even for your partner. Moreover, these condoms are made of a non-latex material; therefore, they are safe to use for people with allergies to the material.

This is just friendly advice for everyone out there: do not use a male and a female condom simultaneously. There are more chances of breaking, and in that case neither of them would be helpful in providing protection from pregnancy and STIs.
