I had an experience where a provider mentioned she used them and we did. I thought it was great! Much more sensitivity for me, much more natural feeling. Not the choking of a regular condom.

I'd be interested to hear the downside of using them from the providers prospective.

Female Condoms and things I would never try again...

Call me vanilla (yes,an homage to Alley Moore), but good gravy!  

The female condom is the devil's version of "peace of mind".  

Oh, I tried the female condom.  It is a crinkly type bag with an o-ring at both ends.  The girl takes the o-ring (which is unusually large by the way) and makes it into a figure-eight in order to insert.  After insertion she must figure out a way to properly place it over her cervix (if she has one).  THEN, the o-ring at the other end is supposed to prevent the whole thing from sliding inward.  This is all great in theory but... did I mention the crinkly plasticy/vinyl that makes up this bag??  I am attaching a video for usage.  Please note that the video is narrated but there is no recording actually of the sound the bag makes.  Did I mention that I find the crinkly bag noise distracting?  Oh, let me not leave out how intensely painful this device can be if not seated properly!  Great in theory, probably designed by a man.  Please go back to the drawing board!

On another subject, I would also not recommend (just my top five):

- Root Canal
- Dropping a gallon of water on your big toe
- Rolling your car off the side of a slick Colorado mountain
- Fishing with lead weights with a girl who knows nothing of casting
- Swallowing Glass

on the general board about them. Several ladies expressed their dislike for the fact that they can cause an awkward moment when it comes time to insert them. Then, one lady said that she likes to make a game out of it, sort of a group effort, inserting them with a toy. That sounded kind of hot to me, and I can't wait to meet her.

They are okay I'm not the biggest fan. My major issue is I can’t put it on with my mouth like the regular hats, gotta make safety more fun! As far as putting it on goes I take the top ring out because its way too big and use it like you would any other condom. The number one reason for using them is more protection via. less skin to skin contact. If you’re all about more feeling use crown shield condoms
