Female Condoms

The female condom is an over-the-counter birth control method that first came into use in the 1980s. It is a barrier method contraceptive device worn inside the vagina. By lining the interior of the vagina, the female condom blocks sperm from reaching and fertilizing an egg. Like the male condom, the female condom can also serve to prevent the spread of many STDs. (Note: A male condom and female condom should never be used simultaneously.)

While some users report decreased sensation and discomfort, the majority of female condom users find it to be an easy and effective contraceptive device. Studies indicate effectiveness rates as high as 95%.

While female condom sales worldwide are low relative to other more popular forms of birth control, the female condom remains easy to obtain. They are available without prescription at the majority of pharmacies and markets as well as family planning facilities. They do, however, tend to be a bit more expensive than their male counterparts.

One way users have found to reduce the increased expense, not to mention any embarrassment associated with buying female condoms, is to buy female condoms online. The health and personal care section of Amazon.com stocks a variety of female condoms for sale online, ranging from single packs to female condoms in bulk quantities as high as 1,000 packs.
