 | 
by Pavitra Purohit, Scientific Product Manager - Medintim

A female condom, also known as an internal condom, is worn inside the vagina during sexual intercourse. It can be used for contraception and helps protect against the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
The Medintim Female Condom is made of nitrile, is latex-free and vegan.

No barrier method, including male or female condoms, provides 100% protection against pregnancy or STIs.

Step 1: Inner and outer ring

The Female Condom consists of a pouch, an inner ring for insertion and an outer ring. The inner ring helps hold the condom in place, while the outer ring covers the external genitalia.

Step 5: During sex

Carefully guide the penis into the condom. 
Additional lubricant can be used if the penis becomes stuck, if the outer ring is pushed into the vagina or if you hear noises during sex. 

Take care with sharp fingernails and jewellery, as these may tear the condom.

Step 6: Remove

After intercourse, hold the outer ring, twist it and gently pull the condom out.

Step 7: Dispose

Dispose of the used Female Condom in the bin.
Do not flush it down the toilet. If it enters the drainage system, it can harm the environment.
The Female Condom is intended for single use only. Do not clean or reuse it.
