It can be inserted up to eight hours before intercourse, and unlike the male condom, can be inserted, used, and removed regardless of how erect the penis is. Techniques for use of the female condom As with any new technology, learning to use this condom takes a little practice. If you are using the condom for vaginal penetration, squeeze the inner ring and insert it into the vagina just past the pubic bone so it covers your cervix. Check with your finger to ensure the sheath isn't twisted. Note that the outer ring is outside the vaginal opening.
Some people like to squeeze more lubricant into the sheath during use.
No mess, no fuss. One can insert it directly into the anus perhaps over fingers, or you can put the condom over the penis and gently slide the condom in. The person doing the penetrating needs to monitor the outer ring to make sure it does not slowly move in. We have been amazed at the success of the female condom. Women love the female condom.
