The Negatives of The Female Condom

Femidoms do not offer the same levels of effectiveness found in many of the hormone based contraceptives and therefore offer an increased risk of pregnancy.  The careful installation process can also remove the spontaneity of the sexual experience. The extra care and attention required during insertion, taking time to ensure that the penis enters correctly through the larger ring of the femidom, can also disrupt the rhythm and enjoyment of sexual activity. As with all condoms, a small risk of tearing and spillage remains.
