- Women, men, MSM, transmen, transwomen and youth
- Women who are menstruating or who have recently given birth or who have had a hysterectomy
The FC2 can be used:
- Any time the mood strikes!
- For vaginal sex and anal sex!
It’s also for those who:
- Have partners who cannot or will not use male condom
- Have (or their partner has) erectile dysfunction
- With latex allergies
- Don’t like condoms or who can’t find condoms that fit
Only FDA approved for vaginal sex HOWEVER:
SFDPH recommends it as a harm reduction tool for anal sex.
Empowerment
The FC2 is unique because it is the only condom available in the U.S. that is worn internally and it can often be in the control of the receptive partner. This may encourage conversations about condom use and can allow the receptive partner to be in control of THEIR OWN sexual health.
