Customer Reviews of Today Sponge, Female Contraceptive (12 Sponges)
Customer Review: 5 stars would be no need for contraception
Summary: 4 Stars
The only disadvantage I can think of for this one is the fact that sometimes there is a little foamy leakage. I planned ahead one day and grabbed one early, so that when the kids went to sleep we would be ready. In the course of the afternoon, I was busy doing standard domestic stuff--dishes, cooking, chasing a 3 year old and two other children, not to mention walking the dog-- there was a certain amount of leakage from the spermacide. Perhaps I accidentally used too much water or something, but it was a one time issue.
Hubby said order more, he loves them, said he doesn't even know they are there. I couldn't say on the oral, we haven't done that with these, and we don't risk relying on them on the actual day of ovulation, but overall, I have to say, wonderful product, no risk, no problems, comfortable, easy to insert and remove. Also no need to watch the clock to see when that narrow window is like you have with films, foams, and jellies.
Description of Today Sponge, Female Contraceptive (12 Sponges)
Two kinds of efficacy statistics are customarily calculated for contraceptive methods. "Method-effectiveness" is the level of effectiveness obtained when using a method consistently, according to label instructions. The method-effectiveness for Today® Sponge, which was derived from a controlled worldwide clinical study, is 89% to 91% (see Today® Sponge product labeling). What that actually means is about one pregnancy for every 1,250 to 1,500 acts of intercourse Today® Sponge does not contain hormones. The active ingredient, the spermicide, nonoxynol-9, has been available for more than 35 years, has been used by millions of women, and has a proven safety record Because Today® Sponge is made of soft polyurethane foam that mimics the feel of vaginal tissue, it is extremely comfortable and generally undetected by either partner during intercourse. After years of clinical testing among more than 1,800 women worldwide who used Today® Sponge throughout more than 12,000 Menstrual Cycles, Today Sponge Was Introduced To The U.S. Market In April 1983. Studied In 20 Family Planning Centers In 11 Countries, It Has Undergone More Extensive Testing Prior To Introduction Than Any Other Female OTC Contraceptive. Updated World Wide Clinical Trial Results Continue To Confirm The Data Supporting The Labeling Of Today Sponge, Which Made It The Female OTC Contraceptive Method Most Recommended By Physicans. Today® Sponge is sold over-the-counter, without a physicians' prescription. No special fitting is required. Its small size allows a woman to carry it unobtrusively in her purse. In addition, it is disposable after each use. And, unlike the pill, Today® Sponge is used only when needed.Female Contraceptives
