No. However, if you experience noise during sex and it bothers you, you can add extra lubricant.

No. Reuse of any condom is not recommended – external or internal. A new condom should be used every time you have intercourse.

• Yes: FC2 Female Condom can be used with the pill, injections, IUD contraceptives, post-sterilization and post-vasectomy to protect against STIs, including HIV.
• No: FC2 cannot be used with the diaphragm, cervical cap, sponge, or NuvaRing® as the inner ring of FC2 fits into the same place at the cervix.

No. If the FC2 gets pushed all the way into the vagina, just relax, insert your finger into the vaginal opening, locate the ring, and pull the FC2 out. Throw out the FC2 that was pushed inside the vagina, open a new FC2, and try again. The FC2 remains in the vagina during use.

It is important that the penis is guided into the center of FC2 and not between the vaginal wall and the outer side of FC2. If the penis does enter incorrectly, STOP and start over, with additional lubrication, if necessary.

STOP. Remove FC2. Insert a new female condom according to the directions.

FC2 Condom is inserted correctly when the inner ring is pushed past the pubic bone. The outer ring and part of the condom is flat around the opening of the vagina, covering the external genitalia. You can check that the condom is in place by inserting your index or middle finger into the vagina past the pubic bone. You can feel your pubic bone by curving your index or middle finger when it is a couple of inches inside your vagina. You should be able to feel that the inner ring is past the pubic bone on the front wall of the vagina.

FC2 Female Condom® is similar in length to a male condom. However, it is wider than a male condom and therefore not constricting on the penis, which many men find pleasurable. Once inserted, it lines the walls of the vagina and allows for movement of the penis inside the sheath.

FC2 condom can be inserted in advance of sexual intercourse and does not need to be taken out immediately after intercourse. While most women insert FC2 between 2 and 20 minutes in advance, the FC2 Female Condom can actually be inserted up to 2 hours in advance.

Yes, FC2 Female Condom is latex-free and made of nitrile.  Nitrile is thinner, but stronger, than latex.

No, as the friction caused by the two condoms can lead to tearing of either one or both of the condoms. Also, using one condom (male or female) provides equal protection to both partners. Never use more than one condom at a time.

FC2 Condoms are available through Pamco’s website on the retail page.
