Female Condoms and How They Work

Instead of the latex condoms which are used by men, partners now have the option of using female condoms before intercourse. Female condoms consist of a thin, loose-fitting lining which covers the vagina and prevents the permeation of semen during intercourse. There are two rings, an internal ring which fits inside the cervix and stabilizes the condom, and an outer ring covering the outer lip of the vagina. As with male latex condoms, the female condom is lined all throughout with non-spermicidal lubricant. They decrease the rate of pregnancy by barring the penetration of the male sperm to the egg of the female. Their efficiency depends on the consistency of the correctness of their use before sexual intercourse. With correct usage, five out of one hundred women may still become pregnant despite using one, while with typical use, that is an incorrect usage of the device in one way or another, twenty-one out of a hundred women may still conceive in spite of using it. There is no more need for males to use Durex condoms if his partner decides to use a female condom.

Female condoms, as well as Durex condoms, offer protection against sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and infections such as herpes and gonorrhea. The female has the ultimate decision in using one before intercourse, and they are available over the counter with no prescription needed for purchase. They are relatively stronger compared to male latex condoms, and can be used with water-based lubricants. Female condoms allow the penis to relax unlike a male condom which cramps the penis within the rubber sheath, slightly decreasing sensitivity for men who decide to use it. Female condoms do not interrupt the spur of the moment during foreplay as it can be inserted into the vagina ahead of time. A part of the device noticeably protrudes outside the opening of the vagina when in use. The disadvantages of using this device comes with the slightly annoying, squeaky sound the lining makes during intercourse, and at times there is difficulty in inserting the rings deep inside to the cervix.

Although female condoms may be reused after intercourse by washing it with soap, rinsing and drying by wiping with a clean cloth, it is advisable that a new set is used every time partners decide to have intercourse. Upon insertion into the cervix, it is important to be sure that both rings are in their proper places before the penis penetrates. Either using male latex condoms or female condoms is enough, but using both at the same time may cause them to stick together and come apart during intercourse. Women may insert the device for as long as eight hours before intercourse. It must be removed immediately upon ejaculation of the male inside the vagina, this being done by holding on to the end of the outer ring and twisting it so to trap the semen well within the pouch, and pulling out the device before the female stands up. It must be ensured that no semen spills out anywhere near the vagina when this is being done in order for the device to be fully effective.

Can condoms be used after freezing?

If a lubricated latex condom becomes frozen, is it still safe to use? Even after multiple freezes and thawing periods?
To explain: I have some condoms in my car and I wanna know if they are still good, because it's been damn cold here lately.
Thanks.

Freezing them weakens the latex wall.so if you don't want the condom to rip buy some new ones
