Hon. Thabita Khumalo“Female condom? Hell, No!” says politician
Once heralded as a solution to putting reproductive health choices in the hands of women, some say the manufacturers of the Femidom – a sheath meant to help women prevent pregnancy and diseases during sexual intercourse – go back to the drawing board and come up with a more “user-friendly” contrivance.
Once heralded as a solution to putting reproductive health choices in the hands of women, some say the manufacturers of the Femidom – a sheath meant to help women prevent pregnancy and diseases during sexual intercourse – go back to the drawing board and come up with a more “user-friendly” contrivance.
Thabitha Khumalo, Member of Parliament for Bulawayo East in Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party, took a few minutes from the packed schedule of a recent HIV Progress review workshop in Johannesburg to dwell on the inadequacies of the female condom.
“Hands up those who have ever used this ‘drum.’ Don’t be shy, comrades,” challenged Khumalo, who is also deputy spokesperson of her party. “The insertion of that condom is a challenge for every woman,” she said.
In an interview later, Khumalo revealed that she got no satisfaction when she used the Femidom. “With female condoms it is not about women also getting orgasms. It is all about fulfilling the needs of men.
If you do not hold the thing in place, it is pushed (inside) and so there is no prevention. Hell, No!”
A South African woman, who preferred to remain unnamed, added that many women keep long nails, natural or artificial, which increases risks associated with the condom. “With long nails, the chances of perforating the Femidom are very high,” she said.
Agai Jones works for Population Services International (PSI), which markets female condoms in southern Africa. He was present when Khumalo lampooned the female condom.
He says there has been mixed reaction to the product, but it has not been all bad. He concedes, however, that the female condom has remained as it was when it was designed more than 10 years ago.
