4. Female Condom Dos and Don’ts
DO use a condom from start to finish, every
time you have vaginal sex.
DO read the condom package insert and check
the expiration date.
DO make sure there are no tears or defects.
DON’T use a male condom with a female
condom, as this can cause tearing.
DON’T reuse condoms.
DON’T flush condoms as they may clog the
toilet.
5. Female Condom │ ADVANTAGES
Using a female condom is SAFE, SIMPLE,
and CONVENIENT
Women and men like female condoms
because female condoms:
allow women to share responsibility
for preventing infection
are easy to get - can be purchased in
drugstores and some supermarkets
can be inserted by a partner as part
of sex play

6. Female Condom │ DISADVANTAGES
Some women and men may not like
the female condom because it may:
cause irritation of the vagina,
vulva penis, or anus
slip into the vagina during vaginal
intercourse, or into the anus
during anal intercourse
reduce feeling during intercourse

7. Male Condom
A male condom is a
contraceptive barrier method
that is worn over the penis to
prevent pregnancy by blocking
sperm from meeting an egg. It
also helps reduce the risk of
sexually transmitted infections
(STIs) when used correctly.
9. They are the most effective protection available
against STIs.
They do not affect future fertility for either a woman
or a man.
They are used only at the time of sexual intercourse.
They are safe to use while a woman is breastfeeding.
They are less expensive than hormonal methods of
birth control.
They are widely available without a prescription.
They may help prevent a man from having an
orgasm too quickly (premature ejaculation).
ADVANTAGES
10. Some people are embarrassed to use
condoms or feel they may interrupt foreplay
or intercourse.
Both partners must be comfortable with
using a condom and be prepared to use one
every time they have sex
Condoms may decrease sexual sensation.
Some people are allergic to latex (rubber).
These couples should use condoms made of
polyurethane (plastic).
Condoms may break or leak.
DISADVANTAGES
11. Condoms are designed to cover the penis and provide a physical barrier
between the penis and the partner’s genital area. This barrier prevents
direct contact between the skin, mucous membranes, and bodily fluids of
both partners.
Male condoms reduce the risk of spreading sexually transmitted
infections, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Condoms
are often used to reduce the risk of STIs even when the couple is using
another method of birth control (such as pills). For the best protection,
use the condom during vaginal, oral, or anal sex.
HOW WELL DO THEY WORK TO PREVENT
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS (STIs)
12. Diaphragm
The Diaphragm or Cap is
a barrier method of
contraception.
Is a rubber cup, like a dish,
that is filled with
spermicidal gel or cream
and inserted into the
vagina.
13. How does it work?
The diaphragm blocks the opening to the
uterus
You need to use it with a spermicide
How long do I leave the diaphragm
in? What if I have sex again?
The diaphragm must stay in place six hours after the
last time you had vaginal intercourse
If have intercourse again or if you have intercourse
more than six hours after you put the diaphragm in,
leave the diaphragm in place and insert more
spermicide deep into your vagina
Note:
You should not use a diaphragm or cap during your period as there is a
possible link with toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a rare condition that can be
life threatening.
15. Your doctor or nurse will show you how to put in a diaphragm or cap.
You may want to squat while putting the diaphragm or cap in; others
lie down or stand with one foot up on a chair – use the position that's
easiest for you.
Inserting a diaphragm
With clean hands, put 2 2cm strips of spermicide on the upper side
of the diaphragm
Put your index finger on top of the diaphragm and squeeze it
between your thumb and other fingers
Slide the diaphragm into your vagina, upwards – this should ensure
that the diaphragm covers your cervix
Always check that your cervix is covered – it feels like a lump, a bit
like the end of your nose
If your cervix is not covered, take the diaphragm out by hooking
your finger under the rim or loop (if there is one) and pulling
downwards, then try again.
How to Insert Diaphragm or Cap?
16. How to Remove Diaphragm or Cap?
Hook your finger under its rim, loop or strap
and gently pull it downwards and out. You
must leave your diaphragm or cap in place for
at least 6 hours after the last time you had sex.
You can leave them in for longer than this, but
do not leave them in for longer than the
recommended time. This is 30 hours for
diaphragms and 48 hours for caps (including
the minimum of 6 hours)
17. Advantages of using Diaphragm
You only need to use a diaphragm or
cap when you want to have sex
You can put it in at a convenient time
before having sex (use extra
spermicide if you have it in for more
than 3 hours)
There are usually no serious
associated health risks or side effects
You're in control of your
contraception

18. Disadvantages of using Diaphragm
It's not as effective as other types of
contraception, and it depends on you
remembering to use it and using it correctly
It does not provide reliable protection
against STIs
It can take time to learn how to use it
Putting it in can interrupt sex
Cystitis (bladder infection) can be a problem
for some women who use a diaphragm or
cap
Latex and spermicide can cause irritation in
some women and their sexual partners
19. How to take care of your Diaphragm?
After you remove the diaphragm, wash it with mild soap
and warm water
Allow it to air dry
Do not use powders on the diaphragm - they can cause
infections.
Do not use oil-based lubricants - such as Vaseline or cold
cream - with your diaphragm. They can damage silicone
Be sure to examine the diaphragm regularly
Stop using your diaphragm if you find that it has holes,
weak spots, cracks, or wrinkles.
- You can look for small holes or weak spots by holding it
up to the light
- You can also fill the cup of the diaphragm with water and
look for leaks
20. Spermicidal
Spermicidal are contraceptive
substances that contain
chemicals designed to
immobilize or kill sperm.
They used to prevent
pregnancy by creating the
barrier that prevents sperm
from reaching and fertilizing
an egg.
22. It's important to use it correctly every time and follow the instructions
on the package. The instructions will vary depending on what type of
spermicide you use.
PROPER USAGE OF SPERMICIDAL
You need to insert spermicide deep into your vagina.
It should be inserted at least 10 to 15 minutes before sex for it
to be effective.
Most spermicides are only effective for 60 minutes.
Reapply spermicide each time you have sex.
Never wash out or remove spermicide after having sex.
Nothing else should go in your vagina for at least six hours so
it can continue to work.
The general guidelines for using spermicides are:

26. Intrauterine device (IUD)
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a
piece of T-shaped plastic, about the
size of a quarter, that is placed inside
the uterus to prevent pregnancy.
IUDs are one of the best birth control
methods out there — more than 99%
effective. That means fewer than 1 out
of 100 people who use an IUD will get
pregnant each year. IUDs are so
effective because there's no chance of
making a mistake.
27. Types of IUD
Hormonal IUD uses hormones to
prevent pregnancy in two ways:
Hormonal IUDs make the mucus on
your cervix thicker. This mucus
blocks sperm so it can't get to an
egg. The hormones in the IUD can
also stop eggs from leaving your
ovaries (called ovulation), which
means there's no egg for a sperm
to fertilize.
The non-hormonal copper IUD is
a small plastic device with copper
wire coiled (wrapped) around the
frame. It is inserted into the uterus
(womb) where the IUD constantly
releases a small amount of copper.
