The digitalization of the reproductive body has engaged myriads ofcutting-edge technologies in supporting people to know and tackle theirintimate health. Generally understood as female technologies (akafemale-oriented technologies or 'FemTech'), these products and systems collecta wide range of intimate data which are processed, transferred, saved andshared with other parties. In this paper, we explore how the "data-hungry"nature of this industry and the lack of proper safeguarding mechanisms,standards, and regulations for vulnerable data can lead to complex harms orfaint agentic potential. We adopted mixed methods in exploring users'understanding of the security and privacy (SP) of these technologies. Ourfindings show that while users can speculate the range of harms and risksassociated with these technologies, they are not equipped and provided with thetechnological skills to protect themselves against such risks. We discuss anumber of approaches, including participatory threat modelling and SP bydesign, in the context of this work and conclude that such approaches arecritical to protect users in these sensitive systems.
