Convenience

  • Condoms are available without a prescription, and they are fairly inexpensive (though more expensive than male condoms).
  • Currently, female condoms can be purchased at most drugstores. They are also available at most venereal disease clinics, or clinics specializing in family planning.
  • Some planning may be needed in order to have a condom handy at the time of intercourse. However, they may be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse. You may also incorporate the insertion of the condom into your lovemaking.
