| Super Protection: The Female Condom The condom for women, a lubricated polyurethane sheath with a ring on each end that is inserted into the vagina, offers extra STD protection and even some pleasure-boosting bonuses. Here's why: - It's the only contraceptive that puts women in total control of STD protection (its failure rate is 5 percent, similar to the male condom). - Unlike the male condom, it can be inserted ahead of time. - Because it covers the lips of the vagina, it may be the single best way to protect against herpes and all types of HPV. These viruses can be spread by contact with parts of the male genitalia that aren't totally covered by a male condom. - The rim can touch and tickle the clitoris during sex. www.cosmo.woman.com The female condom is the only product controlled by women that helps to prevent STDs including HIV/AIDS and unintended pregnancy. The female condom is made of polyurethane, which is strong and unlikely to rip or tear during use or cause allergic reactions. It is manufactured in a state of the art facility in London, England.
