The good news. More and more upwardly mobile women are opting for the female condom despite their steep price.
The new age Indian woman is neither shy of experimenting nor taking control in the bedroom. Taking their safety into their own hands, many working women in India are now opting for female condoms — the only female contraceptive that not only protects them from unwanted pregnancy, but also from HIV.
Steeply priced at Rs 125-150 each, the product has seen a steady increase in the number of takers since its launch two years ago.
Users’ experience
I had read about the female condom somewhere and I used it twice. It was painful the first time, but got better the next time. But the price is bit too high.

My husband doesn’t like male condoms. Our chemist suggested female condoms and both of us are happy now. My husband finds the experience quite natural.

My boyfriend doesn’t like to wear condoms and I am wary of the side effects of pills. I discussed female condoms and he was ready to try it out. We found it convenient.

this is another gimmick by private companies to sell thier products and nothing else.a condom is for men to wear on their penii . women do not have penii and should not go for such idiotic thing just to be trendy and smart.

Would be nice if you can share details... like the brand name n stuff so that the people find it convenient to get it from the chemist rather than explaining him the whole thing. i am sure most of the ppl will find it embarrassing to ask what female condoms are all about...and if they can get one..
Editor's Reply: One of the female condoms available in the market is from Hindustan Latex Ltd., named "Confidom". Please read more about it at http://www.debonairblog.com/blog/archives/2006/05/07/4353/hll-launches-female-condom-in-india/

I am curious to know how it looks and works for women. I might try it once with my wife. I hate to wear the usual condoms since they are so tight and give unnatural feeling. Please post more about it.

This is quiet nice one for females.. Even though i have only used it one for the sake of experimenting, i find it OK with bit of difficulty.
