I have used them but they are a bit combersome and unatractive (lots of latex hanging out)

I would really appreciate it if more ladies would step forward and offer this as an option for sessions.

Unfortunately, they appear to cost more so most ladies are not going to go that far to offer convenience to a client.

A message thread (please see link) on the Chicago Discussion Board was just started about this same subject.

I haven't tried female condoms on clients.However I have tried the older female condoms for personal use only to discover that they are too bulky, and very uncomfortable.

I've never experienced a female condom either, but was just talking about it the other night with one of my favorite woman to see what she thought about them. She really didn't have an opinion either way.

Talk to TashVegas about them.  She uses them and apparently likes them.

Since I have never been able to complete with a "male" condom, I would sure like to try the alternative.

they come in handy in threesomes

A condom is a condom; it doesn't really matter who is wearing it.  Nobody likes them.  That being said, female condoms are 1)expensive, 2)awkward to put in, 3)it's not something you can just pick up at your corner drugstore and 4)most of those who have tried them with me were not impressed (with the condom, not me).

It's not really a good option unless you have "package requirements" that necessitates their use.

Experienced them twice.  2 advantages:
- If a constricting male condom (one size does NOT fit all) gives you climax issues, that problem goes away.
- If you are with a provider who does BBBJ, with the female condom, you can go back & forth from intercourse to BBBJ freely--maybe get a little BBBJ while changing positins, etc.
Agree they are a little awkward to use (but maybe because they're new--the pause to go open a drawer, grab a condom, open the package etc. is a bit awkward too but we're used to it); I think a little creativity in making the application/insertion part of foreplay can obviate this this problem.  Biggest issues I see are expense & ease of misuse/lower effectiveness.  It's easy enought to miss the female condom & enter beside it that it is rated much less effective at pregnancy prevention than a male condom.
Just my $.02.

1)They make a funny crinkly noise, kinda distracting. (I think like those non-latex condoms cant recall the name)

2)Getting a girl who's never tried or heard of them to give it a go is a tough sell.

3)Feel-wise (for me)I'd say its better than the 'oldschool' 10-mil trojan I grew up with, but not as nice as the new super-thins.

But I bought a 4 pack so I aint giving up yet!

OH I just noticed you asked for ladies' thoughts, please disregard all the above...  LOL
