Female condom
A
female
condom
(also known as a
femidom
) is a device that is used during
sexual intercourse
as a
barrier contraceptive
to reduce the risk of
sexually transmitted infections
(STIs—such as
gonorrhea
,
syphilis
, and
HIV
, though its protection against them is inferior to that by male condoms) and
unintended pregnancy
. Invented by Danish
MD
Lasse Hessel
, it is worn internally by the female partner and provides a physical barrier to prevent exposure to ejaculated
semen
or other body fluids. Female condoms can be used by the receptive partner during
anal sex
.
