If I took an ECP but I am already pregnant, will it harm my baby?

Why is the female condom so big?
In terms of length, the female condom is the same as the male. However, it is wider than the male condom. This is because when the female condom is inserted, the warmth and moisture in the vagina allows the condom to stick to the walls of the vagina, which allows the penis to move freely. The female condom also covers the outer part of the vagina and the base of the penis.
