Is Confidom easy to use?
Confidom is not difficult to use but it may take some practice before you become comfortable with it. There are a number of positions you can try before choosing the method of insertion that works best for you. Asking your partner to insert it can make it easier, and more enjoyable for the two of you.

Is it painful to use Confidom?
Not really. Some women do find the inner ring slightly uncomfortable in the beginning. But if it's hurting you, chances are it hasn't been pushed inside enough. So push it further into the vagina or try inserting it again while experimenting with different positions. An extra lubricant (oil-based or water-based) also reduces discomfort.

Does Confidom reduce pleasure?
On the contrary, Confidom is made of a very thin plastic that conducts body heat, so sexual intercourse actually feels very natural and pleasurable. Several studies reveal how women have used it and even their partners have noticed the difference and expressed their delight. Some couples believe the inner and outer rings can increase pleasure for both. Having your partner insert it for you can also enhance the pleasure.

How safe is Confidom?
Confidom is very safe. It prevents sexually transmitted infections such as trichomoniasis, chlamydia, herpes, syphilis and HIV. However, it works best only when it's used correctly and consistently.

What are the chances of Confidom breaking?
Almost zero. The plastic sheath is very strong and stronger than latex. However, you may have to trim your fingernails if they are very long.

Can I re-use Confidom?
That’s not really recommended at present. Research is currently underway to determine if and how Confidom can be re-used. For now, it's best to use a new one each time.

Can I use the Confidom when I have my periods?
Yes. It does not interfere with menstruation and can therefore be used during your periods. Some women find it very useful as the inner ring traps the blood and enables them to have intercourse.

Can Confidom be used with the male condom?
Never. Using both together may cause tearing or slippage due to friction. It may also cause the outer ring to be pushed inside the vagina. Also, there is no evidence to prove that protection from unwanted pregnancy or sexual infection is increased by simultaneous use of both.

Can I stop using other contraceptives ?
Yes, but not without serious thought and consideration. Confidom must be used correctly and consistently every time you have sex in order to ensure protection. However, there is no harm in using other non-barrier contraceptive methods as well.

When should I NOT use Confidom?
It should not be used with the male condom.
