Washington, D.C., will soon become the first U.S. city to distribute female condoms for free wherever it hands out male condoms.

Leaders of social service organizations in both cities say the second-generation female condom made by the Chicago-based Female Health Co. provides an alternative for women — and men — that is softer, quieter and less expensive than the original.
