I would disagree with that, based on maybe 16 uses with four partners. My impression is that an FC2 (notice the "2", that is made of nitrile rather than the original polyurthethane) is slightly better than wearing a male condom from the man's point of view. Obviously this is nearly as "intimate" as it gets so personal reactions will differ. There have been a lot of Female Condom threads and there is always a ziplock bag comment.
As far as safety goes I will quote myself:
"As far as the "80% effective" figure VictoriaLynn mentioned, that is in preventing pregnancy in couples consistently using the method over a year's time. It used to be said that male condoms were 80% effective, then studies with more highly motivated users showed a 90% effectiveness and a trial where all the male users were M.D.s reported 100% effectiveness. In other words, like seat belts and personal floatation devices, condoms only work when they are actually worn. Wikipedia's article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_condom
puts the FC's effectiveness at 95% with "perfect" use and 79% with "typical" use.
This article from the Journal of Epidemiology
http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/166/1/88.abstract
compared male to female condoms by measuring trace presence of PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) in the woman's vaginal fluids after intercourse. PSA could be detected in 3.5% of cases where a male condom was used and 4.5% of cases where a female condom was used. Not much difference."

Where these really shine is in doubles - no condom changes from partner to partner! For someone for whom a condom is cock wilted an FC2 is an obvious thing to try. Don't forget to lubricate since her moisture is on the wrong side of the FC2. Not too much though.
