First use historically[edit]
I note the infobox states its first use was in the 1980s. This is vague and may be questionable as the wiki article on its Danish inventor Lasse Hessel states it was launched in Europe in 1990, so implicitly any use before then would be experimental by volunteers but it would not surely be legally available for public consumption. I have added the information about Hessel's invention into the summary paragraph which is cited.Cloptonson (talk) 06:50, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Change page title to "Internal condom"?[edit]
As the article opens with "internal condom" while "female condom" is mentioned between parentheses under "also", as well as that both the article and official sources mention that the condom is safe for both vaginal and anal sex, the title of this page should not be "Female condom" but "Internal condom". 31.20.106.40 (talk) 16:55, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- For consistency and equality I would suggest that the penis condom should be called external condom? Or alternatively three pages in the future.. penis condom, vaginal condom, anal condom. 31.20.106.40 (talk) 16:59, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- I would absolutely agree and support changing the default terminology in this article, and the title, to internal condom, and make the corresponding pages on the male condom page (to external). Internal and external are simply more scientifically accurate terms, since internal condoms can and are used by receptive partners regardless of gender, sexual identity, or types of genitals involved. I don't believe that there are any condoms specialized for internal use in the anus, so a third article doesn't seem necessary to me. All this said, I have never changed the title of an article before, so I don't know how significant the impacts are on existing links, etc. Willmskinner (talk) 20:20, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
