Have You Heard About Female Condoms?

A contraceptive that’s least intrusive and let women take charge, here’s all you need to know about female condoms.

Dotted, ribbed, extra long, to even flavours like chocolate, achaari, strawberry; men have a range of condom options available to them. But have you ever heard about female condoms?

In a country where the burden of sterilisation falls squarely on the woman (93 percent according to the National Health Mission report), meaning the responsibility of reproductive health is pretty much only hers, it’s surprising that not enough women know about the female condom.

Ironically enough, even with rapid increase in population every year, we are a country that talks about sex in hushed tones. That is if we talk about it at all. It still remains a taboo for most part, and it has to be even more hushed if women are involved.
