Female condoms

Where can one get female condoms?  Don't even know what they look like...  How effective R they in preventing spread of HSV1 & 2?  Thank you.

Yes, most major pharmacy chains carry them, as do online stores.

I don't know how well they work in comparison to a male condom, but it is barrier protection so I'm sure it does have some effectiveness.

Do you have a regular partner?

they work about the same as male condoms do.  The advantage of a female condom is a male doesn't have to have a full erection to use them.  Disadvantages are price and I'm told they make a squishy sound.



I've never seen them in any store where I live. Easy enough to find online. You  can even find them on amazon :)
