Doctor: Hi, how are you today?
Patient: All good thanks.
Doctor: So what's the problem?
Patient: No problem Doc I just had a few questions about female condoms.
Doctor: Okay, go ahead.
Patient: Alright so I've used the pill and and I'm wondering are female condoms just as good as the pill from protecting against pregnancy?
Doctor: Well pills have a 99.7% chance of working whereas the female condom has a 95% chance when used perfectly. However Female condoms, unlike pills, protect against the spread of STI's making them a safer option unless you use both the pill and female condom, but you do not have to.
Patient: Right, so do female condoms mess with your menstrual cycle?
Doctor: No, not at all.
Patient: Great. Um, is the female condom similar to the male condom?
Doctor: Yes the idea is the same. Instead of the traditional condom which goes on the male's penis, it goes inside the vagina.
Patient: Would you say it is better or worse than a male condom?
Doctor: They are really very similar. A female condom though does allow you though to take control of your own protection from STI's. There are many opinions on which are better or more pleasurable, it really depends on the individual and their own experience with each method. In my opinion using female condoms are a good idea for a number of reasons. They are inexpensive and are easy to purchase. Also when used properly they are effective at stoping pregnancy and protecting from STI's.
Patient: Awesome, so where can I buy them.
Doctor: Female condoms can be purchased at grocery and drugstores without a prescription from a doctor.
Patient: Thanks so much you really cleared things up for me.
Doctor: Any time, have a great day.
Patient: Thanks, you too.
