Female condoms are barrier devices inserted into the vagina before sex to prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections. They are made of soft, thin plastic and have a flexible ring at each end—one ring is inserted into the vagina to hold the condom in place, while the other ring stays outside to cover the vaginal opening. Female condoms give women more control over their own sexual health.
