It prevents pregnancy by killing sperm or preventing it from reaching the egg. Typically, spermicide is inserted into the vagina before sex. Spermicide is available over the counter.<\/p>\n<h2>How effective is spermicide?<\/h2>\n<p>Spermicide is one of the less effective birth control methods when used by itself. The typical use of spermicide, which is considered the way most people use it, possesses a <strong>failure rate of 28%<\/strong>. Spermicides should be used with\u00a0another barrier method of birth control such as a <a title=\"Diaphragm\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/unplanned-pregnancy\/birth-control-pills-patches-and-devices\/what-is-a-diaphragm\/\">diaphragm<\/a>,\u00a0<a title=\"Cervical Cap\" href=\" https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/preventingpregnancy\/cervical-cap\/\">cervical cap<\/a>, or <a title=\"Male Condom\" href=\" https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/preventingpregnancy\/male-condom\/\">condom<\/a>. You should <a title=\"Taking a Pregnancy Test\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/getting-pregnant\/taking-a-pregnancy-test\/\">take a pregnancy test<\/a> if you are\u00a0experiencing any <a title=\"Pregnancy Symptoms \u2014 Early Signs of Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/unplanned-pregnancy\/am-i-pregnant\/pregnancy-symptoms\">pregnancy\u00a0symptoms<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some types of spermicide are effective immediately, while other products may take 15 to 30 minutes to activate. Also, some types may stop being effective around an hour after use.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the side effects or health risks?<\/h3>\n<p>In some individuals, an allergic reaction may lead to itching, burning, or redness.<\/p>\n<h3>Are spermicides reversible?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. They do not have any effects on either the male or female\u00a0reproductive cycle. It is possible to get pregnant immediately if\u00a0it is no longer used.<\/p>\n<h3>What about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)?<\/h3>\n<p>Spermicidal chemicals do not prevent contact of the vagina from the\u00a0partner&#8217;s skin or bodily fluids. Spermicide should <strong>NOT<\/strong> be considered\u00a0as a means of protection from <a title=\"Sexually Transmitted Infections (STD\u2019s &amp; STI\u2019s) During Pregnancy\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-complications\/stds-and-pregnancy\/\">sexually transmitted\u00a0diseases<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the pros &amp; cons?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Pros:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"list-alt\">When combined with other barrier methods\u00a0(condom,\u00a0<a title=\"Diaphragm\" href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/unplanned-pregnancy\/birth-control-pills-patches-and-devices\/what-is-a-diaphragm\/\">diaphragm<\/a>, or <a title=\"Cervical Cap\" href=\" https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/preventingpregnancy\/cervical-cap\/\">cervical cap<\/a>),\u00a0the combined failure rate is between <strong>3% &#8211; 10%.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"list-alt\">Doctor visits are not required to obtain spermicide.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-alt\">It is easily accessible at grocery stores, drug stores, and supercenters.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-alt\">It is inexpensive and easy\u00a0to carry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong> The Cons:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"list-alt\">Spermicide must be inserted less than 30 minutes\u00a0prior to intercourse and ideally less than 20 minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-alt\">It must be inserted for each act of sexual\u00a0intercourse.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-alt\">It requires another barrier method to avoid\u00a0high failure rates.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-alt\">Spermicide does <strong>NOT<\/strong> protect against sexually\u00a0transmitted diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Types of Spermicide<\/h3>\n<p>Each type works in slightly different ways. Some mix with vaginal fluid to form a thicker gel to block the cervix, while other forms focus on preventing the sperm from moving.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"content-link css-5r4717\" href=\"https:\/\/pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/compound\/Nonoxynol-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nonoxynol-9<\/a>\u00a0damages the cell membrane of sperm, interfering with the sperm\u2019s ability to move and effectively killing the sperm.<\/p>\n<h4>Spermicide condoms<\/h4>\n<p>Using condoms coated with spermicide is an excellent option to increase the effectiveness for preventing pregnancy and STIs with just one product. It may be more convenient to use a condom with added spermicide instead of using spermicide plus another barrier contraceptive method.\u00a0Using spermicide and condoms together are about 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy and STIs when used perfectly and depending on the type of spermicide.<\/p>\n<h4>Vaginal Contraceptive Sponge<\/h4>\n<p>A vaginal contraceptive sponge is made of a soft foam with added spermicide. The product is effective immediately after insertion and provides protection for 24 hours. Read the directions before use to ensure you\u2019re using it correctly. Each sponge can only be used once. The sponge may be more effective than other spermicide products, with about a 9 to 11 percent failure rate.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s recommended to wait at least 6 hours after the last time having intercourse before removing. The maximum time a sponge can remain in the vagina is 30 hours.<\/p>\n<h4>Vaginal Contraceptive Films<\/h4>\n<p>Vaginal contraceptive films are a thin sheet, similar to wax paper. When inserted into the vagina, the film begins to dissolve and mix with vaginal fluids, forming a thick gel consistency.\u00a0It\u2019s recommended to place the film as close to the cervix as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Vaginal films should be placed at least 15 minutes before sexual intercourse to allow time for the product to dissolve and form the gel. How long the film is effective may vary between different brands.<\/p>\n<h4>Spermicidal Jellies<\/h4>\n<p>Spermicidal jellies are often used along with diaphragms or cervical caps. The jelly acts as lube and an added layer of protection in case any sperm manages to get around the barrier of a diaphragm or cervical cap.\u00a0Spermicidal jellies usually come in a tube. The product comes with an applicator to insert the jelly as close to the cervix as possible. After use, simply wash the applicator, and allow it to dry before the next use.<\/p>\n<p>The jelly is effective immediately and lasts about 1 hour. When used with a diaphragm, it may be effective for up to 6 hours.<\/p>\n<h4>Contraceptive Gels<\/h4>\n<p>A contraceptive gel is an easy-to-use birth control option that also provides lubrication. Typically, the gel is inserted while lying down. The applicator is placed deep into the vagina, as close to the cervix as possible.<\/p>\n<h4>Spermicide Suppositories<\/h4>\n<p>Spermicide suppositories come in a bullet shaped solid. Once placed into the vagina, the suppository dissolves into a foam texture. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes for spermicide suppositories to become effective.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"citation-date\"><!--more--><strong>Want to Know More?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/preventing-pregnancy\/types-of-birth-control\/\">Types of Birth Control<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/preventing-pregnancy\/birth-control-pills\/\">Birth Control Pills<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/preventing-pregnancy\/birth-control-patch\/\">Birth Control Patch<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"citation-heading\">Compiled using information from the following sources:<\/p>\n<p class=\"citation-source\">1.
