Dutch term

beflapje

Dutch to English Other Medical: Health Care prevention of STDs
De koortslip wordt veroorzaakt door een ander type virus dan Herpes Genitalis. Door orale seks kan het koortslipvirus worden overgedragen op de geslachtsdelen. Andersom kun je op deze manier ook Herpes Genitalis overdragen op de mond. Je kunt het risico verkleinen door bij orale seks een condoom of ***beflapje*** te gebruiken.

Thanks a lot!

agree David Haymes : If you go to a Dutch dentist for a root canal, for heaven's sake don't call the dental dam a 'beflapje' - 'bef' is slang for a woman's 'parts' and 'beffen' is a certain kind of sexual act - you have been warned!
