Male Condom Vs Female Condom -
Which One Is More Effective?

Condoms are an effective method of birth control, and they also protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Using a condom during sexual activity can help prevent unwanted pregnancies and protect the sexual health of both partners. There are primarily two categories of condoms male condoms and female condoms. Male condoms are typically made of latex or polyurethane and are worn on the penis to prevent pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections. Female condoms are typically made of nitrile or polyurethane and are inserted into the vagina before intercourse to also prevent pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections. Both types of condoms are an effective form of birth control and disease prevention when used properly.

However, there are differences between the two, and their effectiveness varies. So, before we jump to conclusions, let's see which of the two is more effective at making your lovemaking epic!

What is a Male Condom?

Now, that’s the most used contraceptive among couples worldwide! Male condoms are external condoms made from natural latex or other materials like polyisoprene or polyurethane . These condoms are meant to be worn over the penis while leaving a little space to collect the semen. The widespread use of male condoms is due to their simple and easy usage. Moreover, they are available in various textures, flavours, and sizes, making them an ideal choice as a contraceptive.

What is a Female Condom?

Female condoms are internal condoms made of polyurethane or a synthetic rubber compound called nitrile . Due to the difference in application, female condoms are slightly bigger than male latex condoms. In addition, these condoms come with two stiff rings on both ends that prevent slippage or shifting after insertion into the vagina.

A Quick Comparison of
Male and Female
Condoms

We know that both condoms, male and female prevent STI transmission and unwanted pregnancies. However, their effectiveness is not the same!

In addition, there are some notable differences between he two.

EPIC latex condoms

Ease of Usage:

The male condom is used externally by rolling it down onto the penis. On the other hand, the female condom is applied by pushing it inside the vagina to cover the cervix with one end of the condom. Therefore, female condoms are a bit more complicated to use or insert as compared to male condoms.

Effectiveness as a Contraceptive:

Both types of condoms, male and female, are effective forms of contraception. As stated above, female condoms are highly effective ‘only’ when they are used or worn correctly (now that’s a little tricky task!).

However, male condoms show higher effectiveness than female condoms. Male latex condoms are 85% safe with normal usage, while the effectiveness of female polyurethane condoms is around 79% with normal usage.

Effectiveness in Preventing STIs:

Although both condoms, male and female, are not 100% effective in preventing STIs, they can drastically lower the chances of transmission. However, male latex condoms perform better than female polyurethane condoms as they stay firmly in their place with proper use. On the other hand, female polyurethane condoms may shift from their place during sexual intercourse, causing an exchange of bodily fluids.

Availability:

Most condom users are more aware of male latex condoms and prefer using them. Therefore, due to the demand, condom manufacturers primarily manufacture male latex condoms in diverse flavours, textures, and sizes. For example, Manforce EPIC condoms come in a variety of flavours and textures for ultimate sexual pleasure. Comparatively, there is a limited choice of brands that sell female polyurethane condoms.
