Dear LuvaBaby5,

Yup! Here's a more detailed description of how that works:

The female condom is made out of polyurethane with a flexible ring at each end. It's inserted deep into the vagina, like a diaphragm. The ring at the closed end holds the female condom in the vagina and provides a barrier against ejaculate and pre-ejaculate. The ring at the open end stays outside the vaginal opening — that's where the penis is inserted. Be careful not to insert the penis between the walls of the vagina and the female condom — it must go INSIDE the condom.

Female condoms collect pre-ejaculate and ejaculate before, during, and after ejaculation and prevent fluids from entering the vagina. Used correctly and consistently, they're up to 95 percent effective against pregnancy, and help reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
