An Overview Of The Today Sponge

<
Not so long ago, the Today Sponge was removed from the market.  After the FDA conducted an investigation of the one factory that made the Today Sponge, it was concluded that the factory conditions did not meet adequate hygenic standard.  Among other things, water used in the manufacturing process was not considered safe enough for medical purposes.  For many women that relied on the Today Sponge, this was a huge disappointment.   
Fortunately, the Today Sponge is once again available for consumers.  Many women feel that this is the best form of birth control available.  Among other things, the Today Sponge is relatively cheap, and is sold over the counter.   Because the sponge is does not block penile contact with the walls of the vagina, it can allow for a great deal more intimacy.  In addition, for a woman that does not want the embarrassment of discussing contraceptives with a doctor, this is one method that avoids that issue. Basically, the Today Sponge is something of a disposable diaphragm.  After wetting the sponge with water, simply insert it into the vagina so that the cervix is completely covered.   Because the sponge includes spermicide, you will not need to worry about adding this ingredient.  Because the Today Sponge is soft and flexible, you should not have any discomfort while wearing it. While birth control pills tend to be more effective at preventing pregnancy, the Today Sponge still offers protection without the harmful side effects.  On average, 16% of women that use the sponge will get pregnant.  Unlike birth control pills, however, having used the Today Sponge is not likely to result in a fetus with malformations or other health complications.

Even though the  sponge  must be inserted within 24 hours of having intercourse, it can be left in during multiple encounters.  As long as the Today Sponge is removed within six hours of the last encounter, there is little or no risk of getting pregnant.  Many couples that do not want to deal with condoms, or are concerned about other health issues tend to find this form of contraceptive meets most of their concerns. 

As with many other forms of contraceptive, the Today Sponge does not prevent the transmission of STD's.  Thus, if you are prone to yeast infections, or are concerned about getting other diseases,  you may want to use a condom until you and your partner get tested for STD's.  That said, if you are sure that your partner does not have any STD's, you may want to go ahead and try out the Today Sponge. 

Over the years, many kinds of contraceptives have emerged.  Irregardless of whether it is birth control pills, condoms, or other methods, each type of birth control has its advantages and disadvantages.  The Today Sponge appears to be an old and reliable favorite among many couples.  Because this form of contraceptive is cheap, and available over the counter, it is easy to obtain and try out.

Is It Wise Taking Birth Control While Pregnant?

By Kitty Barker
I realize that many of us may wonder if taking birth control while pregnant would hurt the baby.

Birth Control Planning and Your Faulty Memory

By Mike Selvon
All the common factors are indeed important when doing your birth control planning, such as how effective each method is, whether you'd be comfortable using it, whether you have some condition that might prevent using some methods or make others preferable. But there's one factor which, ironically, you should never forget, and that is your own memory. If in fact you have a terrible memory, then birth control options that rely on said memory should probably move much lower down on your list.
