Looking for 'em everywhere. I love sex 5 times a week. Make my life, thankyou :)


Answer:
There was something called a femidom available in most chemist shops. Ask a pharmacist. They should know. Perhaps they are no longer available. Or you could use a diaphragm with spermicidal cream or jelly. Again, ask your local pharmacist. Family planning clinics may also be able to help and you may be able to get what you’re looking for for free.

Answer:
Female Barrier Methods of Contraception - These include caps, diaphragms, condoms and the contraceptive sponge. Caps and diaphragms form a physical barrier, preventing entrance of sperm to the cervix. They also provide a reservoir for spermicide.

[[Female condom]]

Available as Femidom®.

This is a loose-fitting polyurethane sheath with two flexible polyurethane rings one at either end. It sits in the vagina. At the closed end of the tube the ring is not fixed but helps make insertion easier. It also acts as an internal anchor. At the open end the flexible ring lies outside the vagina. It is lubricated with non-spermicidal lubricant. No fitting is required.

[[Caps]]

Caps are smaller than diaphragms and sit directly over the cervix held by suction. In the UK, they tend to be reserved for women who have had problems with the diaphragm.

Rubber caps include..

Cervical cap - thimble-like and fits directly over the cervix. The cervix needs to have straight, parallel sides and point along the long axis of the vagina. Sizes 22-31mm

Vault cap - this adheres to the vaginal wall and is suitable where there is a flattish cervix. Sizes 55-75mm

Vimule - similar to the vault cap but has elongated dome so fits a longer cervix. Sizes 42, 48 and 54mm

Silicone caps include…

Oves cap - can be used for a 48 hour period and are disposable.

They’re not prescribable on a FP10 so a woman should buy a fitting pack from a chemist and then see her health professional to assess sizing before buying the correct size on a regular basis.

FemCap - can be used for 3 days in total.

[[Contraceptive sponge]]

This is available as Today®. It is made of polyurethane and is 6 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm thick. It is impregnated with nonoxynol-9 spermicide. No fitting is required. Maximum recommended duration of use is 30 hours.

It is fitted into the vagina prior to sexual intercourse and works by occluding the cervix, releasing spermicide, and absorbing semen.

The sponge needs to have water applied to activate the spermicide.

It is inserted into the vagina by hand. There’s an indentation on one side which helps to place it against the cervix.

There’s a loop that makes removal easier.

The sponge may be inserted up to 24 hours before sex and removed any time after 6 hours.
