This research investigates attitudes about and potential use of the new, FDA-approved 'female condom' (known as Realityt(R), or the 'vaginal pouch'). The author investigates perceived feasibility of this product for personal use, capacity of women to introduce this device to partners in conversation, perceived ability by women to negotiate its use, perceptions of product efficacy, and attributions accorded the device through demonstration and physical manipulation. Data from prior research in this population by the author are used to test relationships between attributions held about male condom use and sexual negotiation and attitudes reported about the female condom. Women's responses were trended positively toward the female condom, with a sizable percentage willing to try the device. The female condom emerged, attitudinally, as a promising vehicle for female protection among Hispanic females studied. Substantive support and education, however, should be made available concurrently to these women and their male partners
