"The Femidom"

I now offer a "Femidom" service to my clients if they so do wish. There are many reasons to why an individual would choose a Femidom in preference to the usual Condom, but for me I believe it's because it's the closest thing to actually having un-protected sex and doesn't come with the usual problems Condoms do when wearing them. There is no additional cost to my normal rates for this. It is also recommended (but not compulsory) to make the appointment for a minimum of one hour, this is because the Femidom works best once it has warmed to the body, and provides a very close fit to the inside of me.

Women around the world have made it clear that they wanted the female condom – the only safe, effective, female-controlled barrier method choice for preventing pregnancy and std's, including HIV/Aids. Made from polyurethane, Femidom is a disposable, odourless sheath specially designed to protect women by lining the inside of the vagina.  Femidom is pre-lubricated and it warms immediately to your body temperature.  It is soft and comfortable to use, and gives you the sensitivity you require during love making.  There is an inner ring, inside the sheath, which helps you insert Femidom as quickly and easily as a tampon.

FC female condoms are strong, soft, transparent sheaths that are 17 centimeters long (about 6.5 inches—the same as a male condom) with a flexible ring at each end. 

It is stronger than latex, odourless, causes no allergic reactions, and, unlike latex, may be used with both oil-based and water-based lubricants. It can also be inserted prior to intercourse, is not dependent on the male erection, and does not require immediate withdrawal after ejaculation. With correct and consistent use, Femidom is as effective as other barrier methods and has practically no side effects or risks.

Comparison of FC/Female Condoms To A Male Condom

FC female condoms and the male condom are barrier methods that provide dual protection against pregnancy and STIs, including HIV/AIDS, and differ in the following ways:

Fits on the penis	FC2 is made of nitrile and FC is made of polyurethane
Lubricant: • Can include spermicide • Can be water-based only; cannot be oil-based • Located on the outside of condom	Lubricant: • Can include spermicide • Can be water-based or oil-based • Located on the inside and outside of condom

Condom must be put on an erect penis	Can be inserted prior to sexual intercourse, not dependent on erect penis

Latex condoms can decay if not stored properly	Is not susceptible to deterioration from temperature or humidity.
Recommended as one time use product.	Recommended as one time use product. Re-use research has been done on the original FC female condom, and WHO issued an Information Update in July 2002 (available at www.who.int/reproductivehealth/rtis/reuse.en.html

A female condom and a male condom should not be used together as friction between the two can result in either product failing.
