Female Condoms: Experience, Advice And/or Tips
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

In the spirit of safer sex I’ve got some FEMALE CONDOMS from my doctors office to try ( as a bottom ).
In a support group recently a top said he’s had good experience with them and allowed the experience be more spontaneous because it could be put in place before sex and there is no need to stop and and put something on.
Anyone else tried them? I’d like to hear from females too.

I am a female and tried them too but, I got a little scared and went back to regular condoms. Didn't want to take a chance...

I tried them. They can go in before and stay in place. I think for me it was the same sensation as the male ones. My partner hated them. But he didn’t like condoms period.

Thank you @A myHIVteam Member for sharing your experience.
Hi @A myHIVteam Member that’s why I’m asking the question so I can decide how and when to use it, and maybe if.
I get my medical care at the AIDS Health Fondation and they are promoting this as a an alternative to regular condom for anal sex. I thought the MyHIVteam q+a section might be a good place to find out others experience with the Female Condom. I’ve never used one and the staff at AHF gave me the basics but I wanted real world experience, not just a technical description. I’m glad to hear about vaginal use too because this conversation might help some women realize there is another alternative out there.
