Compare the female condom with the male condom.
What will be an ideal response?
The female condom is similar to the male condom in that it works by preventing sperm from entering the vagina. In addition, it also blocks the entrance to the uterus. The female condom is made of polyurethane, not the latex used in most male condoms. Polyurethane is less susceptible to tearing and does not deteriorate with exposure to oil-based substances in the way that latex does. It does not create the allergic reactions that some people have to latex.
However, in comparison to the male condom, the female condom seems unsophisticated and obtrusive as, in its present form, it is awkward and makes rustling noises while in use, although additional lubricant reduces this problem. The cost of the female condom is also considerably higher than the male condom.
