Check the expiration date on the package, and then open it carefully.
- The female condom comes already lubricated, but you can add more lube if you want. You can also add spermicide.
Relax and get into a comfortable position. Standing with one foot on a chair, lying down, or squatting are common faves — kind of like how you’d put in a tampon.
- Squeeze together the sides of the inner ring at the closed end of the condom and slide it into your vagina like a tampon.
Push the inner ring into your vagina as far as it can go, up to your cervix. Make sure it’s not twisted.
-
Pull out your finger and let the outer ring hang about an inch outside the vagina. You’re good to go!
-
Guide your partner’s penis into the opening of the condom, making sure it doesn’t slip to the side between the condom and your vaginal walls.
-
To use the female condom for anal sex, remove the inner ring and insert the condom into your anus with your finger, leaving the outer ring hanging out.
