Longact

helinasolomon — Tue, 29 Dec 2020 12:12:09 +0000

Longact intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD) is a small, t-shaped flexible plastic frame with a horizontal and a vertical arm. The vertical arm has a copper wire wrapped around it and two colored threads at the lower end. The copper ions from the IUD create an environment that causes sperm to break apart. The nylon threads (tail) which stick out through the cervix
into the vagina, allows the woman to check whether the IUD is in place or not.
Longact is effective for up to 12 years. It can also be used as emergency contraception.

Female Condoms

helinasolomon — Tue, 29 Dec 2020 12:00:18 +0000

Female condoms are sheaths, or linings, that fit inside a woman’s vagina. They have flexible rings on both ends. One ring has an open end and sits outside the vagina. The other ring is placed inside the vagina. Rings help stabilize the female condom during intercourse and prevent slippage. The outer ring is open for the penis to be inserted into while the inner ring is closed off (the inner ring also creates additional pleasure for the female). The female condom is made of thin, transparent, soft, lubricated plastic film. It has a soft, moist texture that provides some users with a more “natural” feel than male latex condoms.
