    female condom? good or bad?

    has anyone use one before?

    looking to try it, but im not sure if its worth it as their a bit more expensive then the guys condoms.

    what was your experience like?

    I bought a couple online where they are cheaper to try. We had issues when he pulled out with semen getting spread around off the end of his penis. It probably would have been better if he pulled the condom out with his penis like a male condom would instead of withdrawing and then sealing it off and removing it. Other than that it works fine and both people can still feel everything about as well as using a male condom. Really though I saw no benefit over a male condom but if you go look up the wiki article it lists some advantages. Mostly that it doesn't depend on an erect penis so it can be inserted awhile before intercourse and you don't have to stop right before insertion to put on a condom. The guys I've been with never found that a problem though.

        Oh it's been like 5 years so I don't really remember. I think the first one was a little tricky because they are twisted up and have to untwist as you insert but it wasn't difficult enough to leave a lasting impression on me.

            I liked them, but my partners never have. One said it looked funny because the outer ring hands out. My hubby said it felt different. They give you a different sensation. Also, no rubber burns. Male condoms make me go dry.

            The first time I put it one, it took a minute to insert, but its really easy. Just make sure to read the instructions. I prefer them because I find them safer. You can put them on earlier, I don't get dry. I thought the guys would like the sensation better.

                I love female condoms and usually buy them off Amazon to get a better deal. I'm not sure how semen could get spread around that much considering the outside ring is pretty wide and covers pretty much your entire vagina.

                They are pretty easy to insert once you do it once or twice.

                I like they way they feel better. Feels more natural and also I get dry from male condoms as well.

                To keep it lubed he puts lube on his penis before entering and even puts a couple drops inside the condom. It is already naturally lubricated, but I'd definitely suggest using more.

                    Not really... it's not THAT big, lol, but it's bigger that a male condom at the end. I'm not sure if I can post links in here. I'd just choose the one that's more bang for your buck - no pun intended .
