You can scroll through this section (http://www.vaginapagina.com/index.php?title=Non-Hormonal_Birth_Control#Condoms) of our Vulvapedia for some info, including a list of pros and cons, on female condoms.
Personally, I've used them a couple of times and didn't hate it, but I don't think I'd choose to use them again. One plus I experienced was that the outer ring of the condom covered part of the vulva, meaning there was a barrier in place for oral as well as penetrative sex. That said, they definitely produced a crinkly "why is there a plastic sandwich baggie in my snatch?" feeling during PIV action. Didn't keep us from having sex, but for the money -- more expensive than male polyurethane condoms, even -- they just weren't worth it to me.
