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.
