The research design for clinical trials of the female condom did not include randomization with another contraceptive method, so no one can definitely determine its contraceptive efficacy. Less formal comparisons with studies of other barrier methods reveal that the contraceptive efficacy of the female condom during typical use is not different from that of other vaginal barrier methods among US women.
