Finger cots or condoms are a safe and sanitary way to engage in sexual penetration, otherwise known as fingering. It can also be referred to as digital sex or heavy petting. The finger condoms used during the process are known as finger cots. These cots are also used to avoid STD transfer while the partners are involved in a romantic encounter. The impermeable rubber surfs as a protective barrier and keeps the vagina from all risks and bacteria.
