 安全性行为- 避孕套/安全套6  

女用避孕套/安全套  
当女性发现许多男性忘记携带或拒绝使用安全套时,甚至于在这些个情形下,她们开始寻找保护自己的方法了。“女用安全套”“female condom”,简称为femidom——译者注)的成功研制给出了这个答案——妇女自己能够戴入阴道的囊袋。

女用安全套是一种柔软、菲薄、已润滑的聚亚安酯塑胶护套,其两端均有柔软的乳胶环;其中一端是封闭的。该装置用于插入阴道,封闭一端的环盖住子宫颈,而另一端的环则仍留在外面可见,部分地遮盖住阴唇。像男用安全套一样,女用安全套在射精后容纳精液,并由此而防止任何HIV或其他性传播疾病感染发生的可能。这种阴道安全套现时在市场上有售,商品名叫“真实套”(Reality,音译为“瑞安丽替”更为贴切——译者注)”。有时候,尽管它不是设计成肛交的用途,它也被某些男性或女性用于这种性行为。

插入女用安全套:1.在安全套封闭的一端将环压拢;2.食指进入安全套,将它顶入阴道;3.安全套封闭的一端达到正确的位置,盖住子宫颈,而其开口端仍留置在阴户之外。

The Female Condom
When women found out that many men failed or even refused to use condoms, they began looking for ways to protect themselves even in these circumstances. The answer was the development of a “female condom”, a vaginal pouch which women can use on their own.

The female condom is a soft, thin lubricated sheath of polyurethane plastic with flexible latex rings at both ends. One of these ends is closed. The device is inserted into the vagina, where the closed ring covers the cervix while the other ring remains visible outside, partially covering the vaginal lips. Like the male condom, it catches the semen after ejaculation and thus prevents any possible infection with HIV or other STDs. The vaginal condom is currently marketed under the name "Reality." It is also sometimes also used by either men or women for anal intercourse, although it has not been designed or tested for this usage.
