What is an internal condom (female condom)?

An internal condom (sometimes referred to as a female condom) is a thin plastic pouch that is inserted into the vagina before sex. It has two flexible rings to keep it in place. It stops semen from entering the vagina to prevent pregnancy. It also helps protect both partners from STIs.
