Amakhondomu abesifazane

Ikhondomu yabesifazane iyisetshenziswa esisetshenziselwa ukulawula inzalo. Njengekhondomu yabesilisa, idala umgoqo ovimbela isidoda ukuthi singafiki eqandeni.

Ikhondomu yabesifazane ivikela ekukhulelweni. Iphinde ivikele ezifweni ezisakazeka ngesikhathi socansi, kufaka ne-HIV. Kodwa-ke, akucatshangwa ukuthi kusebenza njengamakhondomu abesilisa ekuvikeleni kuma-STI.

Ikhondomu yabesifazane yenziwe ngopulasitiki omncane, oqinile obizwa nge-polyurethane. Uhlobo olusha, olubiza kancane, lwenziwe ngento ebizwa nge-nitrile.

Lawa makhondomu angena ngaphakathi esithweni sangasese. Ikhondomu inendandatho onqenqemeni ngalunye.

• Iringi efakwa ngaphakathi esithweni sangasese ilingana nomlomo wesibeletho bese iyimboza ngezinto zenjoloba.
• Enye iringi ivuliwe. Ihlala ngaphandle kwesitho sowesifazane sangasese futhi imboze isitho sangasese.

LUSEBENZA KANJANI?

Ikhondomu yabesifazane isebenza cishe ngama-75% kuya kuma-82% ngokusetshenziswa okujwayelekile. Uma esetshenziswa kahle ngaso sonke isikhathi, amakhondomu abesifazane asebenza ngama-95%.

Amakhondomu abesifazane angahluleka ngezizathu ezifanayo nezamakhondomu abesilisa, kufaka phakathi:

• Kukhihla isililo ekhondomu. (Lokhu kungenzeka ngaphambi noma ngesikhathi sokuya ocansini.)
• Ikhondomu ayibekwa ngaphambi kokuthi umthondo uthinte isitho sangasese.
• Awuyisebenzisi ikhondomu njalo uma uya ocansini.
• Kukhona ukukhubazeka kokukhiqiza kukhondomu (okungajwayelekile).
• Okuqukethwe yikhondomu kuchitheke njengoba isuswa.

IMVUME

• Amakhondomu ayatholakala ngaphandle kwemithi kadokotela.
• Ashibhile (yize ebiza kakhulu kunamakhondomu abesilisa).
• Ungathenga amakhondomu abesifazane ezindaweni eziningi ezidayisa izidakamizwa, emitholampilo yezocansi, nasemitholampilo yokuhlela umndeni.
• Udinga ukuhlela ukuthi ube nekhondomu esandleni uma uya ocansini. Kodwa-ke, amakhondomu abesifazane angabekwa kuze kufike emahoreni ayisishiyagalombili ngaphambi kokuya ocansini.

Buhle

• Ingasetshenziswa ngesikhathi sokuya esikhathini noma sokukhulelwa, noma ngemuva kokubeletha kwakamuva.
• Ivumela umuntu wesifazane ukuthi azivikele ekukhulelweni nasezifundweni zocansi ngaphandle kokuthembela kukhondomu yabesilisa.
• Kuvikela ekukhulelweni kanye nasezifundweni zocansi.

CONS

• Ukuqina kwekhondomu kunganciphisa ukukhuthazeka kwamandla nokugcoba. Lokhu kungenza ukuhlanganyela ucansi kungabi mnandi kakhulu noma kungathandeki, yize ukusebenzisa i-lubricant kungasiza.
• Ukucasuka kanye ne-allergen reaction kungenzeka.
• Ikhondomu ingenza umsindo (ukusebenzisa igrisi kungasiza). Uhlobo olusha luthule kakhulu.
• Akukho ukuxhumana okuqondile phakathi kwepipi nesitho sangasese sowesifazane.
• Owesifazane akazi ukuthi kunoketshezi olufudumele olungena emzimbeni wakhe. (Lokhu kungabalulekile kwabanye besifazane, kepha hhayi kwabanye.)

INDLELA YOKUSEBENZISA IKHONDOMU YABESIFAZANE

• Thola iringi yangaphakathi yekhondomu, bese uyibamba phakathi kwesithupha sakho nomunwe ophakathi nendawo.
• Cindezela iringi ndawonye bese uyifaka ngangokunokwenzeka esithweni sangasese. Qiniseka ukuthi iringi yangaphakathi idlule ithambo le-pubic.
• Shiya iringi yangaphandle ngaphandle kwesitho sangasese sowesifazane.
• Qiniseka ukuthi ikhondomu ayiphambukanga.
• Beka amaconsi ambalwa oketshezi olususelwa emanzini ethangeni ngaphambi nangesikhathi sokuya ocansini njengoba kudingeka.
• Ngemuva kokuya ocansini, nangaphambi kokuma, khama bese usonta iringi yangaphandle ukuqinisekisa ukuthi isidoda sihlala ngaphakathi.
• Susa ikhondomu ngokudonsa ngobumnene. Yisebenzise kanye kuphela.

UKULAhlwa KWAMAKHONDOMU ABESIFAZANE

Kufanele uhlale uphonsa amakhondomu kudoti. Ungafaki ikhondomu yabesifazane ethoyilethi. Kungenzeka ivale amapayipi.

AMACEBISO OKUBALULEKILE

• Qaphela ukuthi ungadabuli amakhondomu ngezinzipho ezicijile noma ubucwebe.
• UNGAYisebenzisi ikhondomu yabesifazane kanye neyesilisa ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ukungqubuzana phakathi kwabo kungadala ukuthi baqoqe noma badabuke.
• UNGAYisebenzisi into eyenziwe ngophethiloli efana neVaseline njengesithambisi. Lezi zinto zehlisa i-latex.
• Uma ikhondomu ikhala noma yephuka, iringi yangaphandle iphushelwa phezulu ngaphakathi esithweni sangasese, noma ikhondomu lihlangana ngaphakathi esithweni sangasese ngesikhathi sokuya ocansini, lisuse bese ufaka enye ikhondomu khona manjalo.
• Qiniseka ukuthi amakhondomu ayatholakala futhi alula. Lokhu kuzosiza ukugwema isilingo sokungasebenzisi ikhondomu ngesikhathi socansi.
• Susa amathamponi ngaphambi kokufaka ikhondomu.
• Thintana nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo noma ikhemisi ukuthola ulwazi mayelana nokuvimbela inzalo okuphuthumayo (uHlelo B) uma ikhondomu ikhala noma okuqukethwe kuchitheka lapho uyikhipha.
• Uma usebenzisa amakhondomu njalo njengendlela yakho yokuvimbela inzalo, buza umhlinzeki wakho noma usokhemisi mayelana nokuba nePlan B esandleni ongayisebenzisa uma kwenzeka ingozi yekhondomu.
• Sebenzisa ikhondomu ngayinye kanye kuphela.
