I’d guess that most people don’t actually know how to use a female condom. Of course, the same argument could be made about male condoms; however, I think education about female condoms is even more lacking in many ways. Of course, this is only based on my own personal experiences in sex ed–but I was taught how to use a male condom many times. Female condoms were mentioned, but I don’t recall ever being taught how to properly use them in any effective or meaningful way.

Another issue that should be considered is the cost of female condoms. Where a male condom is worth $.50 to $1.00, female condoms can range from $2.50 to $5.00 which could make this option as unaffordable to women as birth control pills and other forms of contraception

Still, this could be a valid option particularly for women who’s male partners refuse to use condoms.
