Female condoms are larger because they are designed to cover the internal vaginal walls and external labia, providing a barrier against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as well as preventing pregnancy. Their size ensures they can fit a variety of body types and stay in place during intercourse. Additionally, they give women more control over their own sexual health, as they can be inserted well before sexual activity begins.
