What is a contraceptive sponge?
The Today Sponge mixes a spermicide with a barrier contraceptive. It offers an immediate and continuous presence of the spermicide nonoxynol-9 throughout a 24-hour period, allowing for as many sessions of intercourse as desired within that period without the need for additional spermicide. It is easy to learn to use. With a little practice, insertion and removal become simple procedures. Following these easy steps will ensure proper placement and usage… With clean hands, remove Today Sponge from its inner package. Holding the Sponge in one hand with the dimple (concave) side facing upward, and the loop dangling down, wet the sponge thoroughly with clean tap water. Gently squeeze the Sponge to produce amounts of suds. This activates the spermicide and facilitates insertion. Do not be worried if you see too much suds. There is more than enough spermicide in Today Sponge to provide effective prevention of pregnancy. Fold the sudsy Sponge in half – still with the dimple side facing upwar
