The FC is a pre-lubricated barrier method that provides dual protection against pregnancy and STIs, including HIV/AIDS. The FC is made of the plastic polyurethane (a thin, soft, odorless material that is stronger than latex, which is used to make most male condoms) that protects the vagina, cervix and external genitalia. The FC is 17 centimeters long (about 6.5 inches) and has a flexible ring at each end of the sheath. The inner ring at the closed end is used to insert FC and to hold it in place inside the vagina. The inner ring slides into place behind the pubic bone. The outer ring at the open end is soft and remains on the outside of the vagina during intercourse. It covers the area around the opening of the vagina (the vulva) and can be pleasurable for men as well as for women.
