Female condoms

A female condom is inserted into the vagina beforehand and is held in place by two rings: the inner ring secures it at the cervix, whilst the outer ring remains outside. It does not rely on the partner’s erection and does not need to be removed immediately afterwards.

What’s available

• UNIQ Air Female and UNIQ Lady — latex-free models made from AT-10 synthetic resin, 3 per pack; the Lady comes with an additional sponge retainer.
• Pasante Female is a classic female condom made from nitrile.

Who it’s for

Women who want to take control of their own protection, couples with latex allergies, and those for whom a standard condom reduces their partner’s sensation: the female condom is wider and does not constrict.
