Lady Gaga, Cyndi Lauper and Female Condoms, Oh My!
The groups say that because some women feel they can't "negotiate" for safer sex, the female condom is another way to help put that power and decision directly into the hands of women. The condom they're promoting, the FC2, is approved by the FDA and it appears on the WHO Essential Products List.
While I've never used a female condom, I love the idea of giving women more options to take control of our own bodies. So much in fact, that I've decided to conduct a little research this weekend. You guessed it; I'm going to give the female condom a try. And of course, report back to you with my findings.
Have you used a female condom before? Did you love it? Hate it? Why do you think female condoms aren't very popular?
