Q: Sponge Plus Spermicide

New User

Has anyone used the Today sponge PLUS an additional different spermicide (foam, gel, etc)? I know the sponge contains spermicide, but the 9 percent failure rate is kind of high and I was wondering if combining it with another spermicide would improve the rate. Any studies?
Thanks.

I do think combining it with another spermicide would definitely improve its success rate.

Just remember that the even with the xtra spermicide, it will never be as effective as the pill, or non hormonal IUD.

I would say that whomever you use this with, they should understand that, and you should make sure it is okay with you too =)
