" &amp;quot;Do they make condoms for girls?&amp;quot; Melissa, 14, Virginia Beach, VA &amp;quot;Yes, there are female condoms, which offer protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However, female condoms generally are not quite as effective as properly used male condoms in preventing pregnancy. A female condom is a polyurethane sheath with a flexible ring on either end. One end is closed and inserted into the vagina, while the other end is open and the ring sits outside of the opening of the vagina.   Female condoms aren&amp;#039;t perfect. No form of contraception is, though some are more effective than others. Over the course of a year of using female condoms, about 1 in 5 couples will have an unintended pregnancy. Male condoms are somewhat more effective \u2014 but again, that&amp;#039;s only if they are used properly.   And just in case you were wondering, using a male and a female condom at the same time is not more effective. It actually can compromise the effectiveness of both the male and female condom because they can get stuck together and cause one or the other to slip during intercourse.
