Female condoms stay in place through a flexible ring at each end. The inner ring is inserted into the vagina and snugly fits against the cervix, ensuring the condom is securely positioned. The outer ring remains outside, covering the vaginal opening, preventing it from slipping inside. Proper insertion is key to its effectiveness.
