How reliable are women condoms for contraception?

A female condom is a thin pouch made of synthetic rubber (nitrile) and polyurethane that’s inserted into the vagina before sex to prevent conception.

When used consistently and correctly, women condoms are about 95 percent effective. This means that about five women out of 100 who use them properly every time they have sex will get pregnant over the course of a year.

A female condom may fail when it’s inserted incorrectly and slides out during sex, if it tears before or during sex, or if the penis misses the opening of the condom and is inserted between the vaginal wall and the outside of the condom.

But don’t use a female condom when your partner is using a male condom. The friction could push the man’s condom off or cause the female condom to slip to one side and tear. Female condoms aren’t designed for use with a diaphragm either.

If you’re relying on the female condom as your primary method of birth control, it’s a good idea to have emergency contraception on hand so you’ll be prepared if the female condom slips or breaks or you forget to use it. The sooner you take emergency contraception after unprotected sex, the more likely it is to be effective. To buy women condoms, please send us email: [email protected]
