Spermicide is a birth control method that contains chemicals that stop sperm from moving. Spermicides are available in different forms, including creams, film, foams, gels, and suppositories. Spermicide can be used alone, or it can be used with other birth control methods to make them more effective. It is always used with the diaphragm and cervical cap.

  • Few side effects like what?

  • While I understand your stance on preventing an unwanted/unplanned pregnancy you also owe it to your viewers to provide them with as much information on the subject as possible so that they can make a completely responsible informed decision.

  • As a educator you should mention that Spermicides contain Nonoxynol-9:

    It was originally thought that N9 could be used for the prevention of STD's/STI's however about 10 years ago it was discovered that it actually INCREASES the chances of contracting infections like HIV by creating lesions on the layers of skin cells in the vagina or rectum walls, which can potentially facilitate infection.
