how to use female condoms
 

These are sometimes called female condoms or internal condoms. You put them inside your vagina for vaginal sex or inside your anus (butt) for anal sex. Do not use a traditional condom at the same time as an internal condom.

1.
Squeeze the package to make sure there is air in it.

2.
Open the package - be careful not to tear the condom!

3.
Squeeze the inner ring inside the condom
and push it up into your vagina as far as it will go.
For anal sex, you should take out the inner
ring before you put it in your anus.

4.
When you are both ready, guide the penis into the condom.

5.

After you ejaculate, hold on to the condom so semen
does not spill out and pull out while the penis is still hard.

6.

Hold the base of the condom while you pull
it out so you don’t spill any semen.

7.

Tie off the end of the condom and throw it in the trash.
