FC Female Condom
FC
female condom is a strong, soft, transparent polyurethane sheath
that is 17 centimetres long (about 6.5 inches, the same length as
a male condom) with a flexible ring at each end. It is inserted
into the vagina prior to sexual intercourse and provides protection
against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
including HIV/AIDS. The inner ring aids insertion and secures the
device in place during intercourse while the softer outer ring remains
outside the vagina.
The original FC female condom is manufactured in the United
Kingdom by the Female Health Company (FHC). It is approved
by regulatory agencies around the world including the US Food and
Drug Administration (FDA), and each production batch is tested to
the FDA specification and carries the European Unions CE Mark.
The product has various brand names in different countries, including
FC Female Condom, Reality, Femidom, Dominique, Femy, Myfemy, Protectiv
and Care. It is currently available in over 80 countries.
