    Er... I'm guessing by the lack of response that no one has really used one. They never took off in England, they are expensice and fiddly and I can't see how they would be any more pleasurable. There are hundreds of different types of condoms that will give different sensations that you could try. Is there a reason why you could not both be tested for STDs and then rely on the pill or another similar form of contraception since you are in a long term relationship?

    The female condom is a polyurethane sheath or pouch about 17 cm (6.5 inches) in length. It is worn by a woman during sex. At each end of the condom there is a flexible ring. At the closed end of the sheath, the flexible ring is inserted into the vagina to hold the female condom in place. At the other open end of the sheath, the ring stays outside the vulva at the entrance to the vagina. This ring acts as a guide during penetration and it also stops the sheath bunching up inside the vagina.


    How to wear it ?

    Squeeze the inner ring with thumb and middle finger (so it becomes long and narrow), and then insert the inner ring and sheath into the vaginal opening. Gently insert the inner ring into the vagina and feel it go up. Place the index finger inside of the condom and push the inner ring as far as it will go. Make sure the condom is inserted straight, and is not twisted inside the vagina. The outer ring should remain on the outside of the vagina. The penis should be guided into the condom in order to ensure that the penis does not slip into the vagina outside the condom. Use enough lubricant so that the condom stays in place during sex.


    Advantages
    ·Opportunity for women to share the responsibility for the condoms with their partners
    ·A woman can use the female condom if her partner refuses to use the male condom
    ·The polyurethane, the material the female condom is made of, is less likely to cause an allergic reaction than a male latex condom.
    ·It can be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse so it does not interfere with the moment
    ·The polyurethane is thin and conducts heat well so sensation is preserved

    Disadvantages

    The outer ring is visible outside the vagina, which can make some women feel self-conscious
    The female condom can make noises during intercourse. Adding more lubricant can help this problem.
    Some women find the female condom hard to insert and to remove
    It has a higher failure rate in preventing pregnancy than non-barrier methods such as the pill
    It is relatively expensive and relatively limited in availability in some countries


    Try once and find out how it suits your need.My advise is to go on oral contraceptive pills which is much cheaper and keeps you away from the condomns. You can have a natural touch of joy and sensation.

    Good luck

    If you are thinking hormonal contraceptives, the ring is an option as well. Keep in mind that all these methods of birth control come with some small side effects that they are not 100% sure. I mention the ring because it is easier to use than the pill, but not everyone likes it. It is a ring, just like one on the female condom, and it is left in the vagina for 3 weeks, take it out the fourth, which is when you get your period. Some women like it because they don't have to remember to take a pill each day:D
