I call them . . .  Femi-doms



From that BBC sitcom.. Absolutely Fabulous!

TET

I hit "enter" at the wrong time, and submitted a blank message.

The photo of the female condom box doesn't have its own link on that web page.  What did you do to place the photo within your message so that it appears along with your message?  I haven't figured out how to do it.

See also my related post regarding uploading photos from home computers into TER messages included within this thread.  Same basic question applies to it.

I hit "enter" by accident.  This was to be part of my original post.

I see the picture URL box at the bottom, but I don't have a website or webpage, so the URL box won't help me.  Is there a way to upload a photo from a computer into the message body so that it appears along with the thread?

I can't find them anywhere in L.A. Its like the religious right clears them out and burns them. I searched everywhere in N.Y.C. and could find them only at Ricky's, not even in the Village! God, it SUCKS when I run out of them because now I am known as the female dom condom gal, and its like it totally ruins my style, ya heard? Gag me with a spork! (((omg)) Well, I am packed and loaded with a vatful. Here Mr. Narc Cop, lol...I left the red filled glass dildo on top of my luggage this time. All a-board! Chugga-chugga-chooo-ooo! East coast bound in coach. Loving it. Looking out for fresh meat. Mile high club on the port-a-potty. Going where no provider has gone before.

never an insult JP...all in good fun....let me just give you a dose of REALITY

If you've been keeping up with the latest developments in contraceptive
technology, you know that a new female condom was put on the U.S. market
last year.  For those of you who can't imagine it, the female condom
looks something like a small latex windsock with a flexible ring at either
end, and is roughly twice the size and twice the thickness of your
run-of-the-mill male condom.  In the United Kingdom and Canada, the
contraption is known as "Femidom," but in the U.S., under the auspices
of Wilson Pharmaceuticals, the female condom is marketed as "Reality."
Terribly undescriptive brand name, but then again this probably makes it
less of an embarrassment to advertise.  "Buy yourself a Reality, you never
know when it might come in handy."

Because the idea of a female condom is so foreign to most, Reality comes
with a detailed instruction booklet that doubles, if you read it with any
sense of humor, as philosophical advice.  Some excerpts:

    * Use a new Reality with each and every sex act.
    * Read instructions carefully before using Reality.
    * The booklet explains how to use Reality.
    * Don't tear Reality.
    * Reality only works when you use it.
    * Make sure Reality is not twisted after insertion.
    * Reality should not be noisy during sex.
    * Reality may shift during sex.
    * Keep Reality out of the reach of children.

Also, I would add, in the spirit of contraception, that "Life could get
very complicated if you lose track of your Reality."

I am not a big fan of them, myself

I had tried one once recently, and being that I am very small, tight below, I even have problems inserting Tamps. (not to disgust anyone out), and it felt really uncomfortable inside me. I ended up giving the package away to one of my provider friends. Unfortunately, they are not for me  But some of my lady friends do like them. I say whatever works for you, as long as a provider is not forced to wear them, for I will never again lol
