The female condom is a plastic pouch that is used during intercourse to prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. It has flexible rings at each end. Just before vaginal intercourse, it is inserted deep into the vagina. The ring at the closed end holds the pouch in the vagina. The ring at the open end stays outside the vaginal opening during intercourse. And during anal intercourse, it is inserted into the anus.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
If you're concerned about preventing STDs but don't want to use an ordinary condom, you might want to try one of these. It's called a female condom and while it looks a little strange, it's great because it gives you control of preventing pregnancy and reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections. The female condom is a plastic pouch with two rings, one at each end. The inner ring is squeezed and inserted into the vagina before sex and the outer ring stays outside the vagina and covers part of the vulva. After sex, just remove it and throw it away.
The female condom works by collecting semen when a man ejaculates --- you know, comes. This keeps sperm from entering the vagina. No sperm, no pregnancy. In fact, less than five (5) out of one hundred (100) women will get pregnant each year if they use a female condom correctly every time they have sex. That goes up to about twenty (20) out of one hundred (100) women if they don't always use it the right way. It can be used for vaginal sex or inserted into the anus to reduce the risk of STDs during anal sex. There are a lot of other benefits to using the female condom. There are no side effects, no prescriptions, and no trips to the doctor. Except for the latex condom, it can also be used with any other method of birth control.

Female condom didn't work for me. I followed the instructions, and it would either slide all the way inside or my then lover would pop it with heavy thrusting, just wasn't durable enough and wouldn't stay put.
