The Female Condom / Internal Condom
Female condoms or Internal Condoms are made from thin and soft latex or synthetic latex and are worn inside the vagina. They are also known as Internal Condoms.
They work by preventing sperm meeting an egg and thus preventing a pregnancy.
A female condom can be put into the vagina before sex, but you must make sure the penis does not come into contact with the vagina before the condom has been fitted.
Semen / Sperm can still come out of the penis even before a man has had an orgasm (fully ejaculated).
