## Overview

Today Sponge is a hormone-free, disposable contraceptive offering triple-action protection by blocking, absorbing, and killing sperm with nonoxynol-9.

Perfect for the modern woman seeking safe, on-demand contraception without prescriptions or side effects.

## Description

Two kinds of efficacy statistics are customarily calculated for contraceptive methods. "Method-effectiveness" is the level of effectiveness obtained when using a method consistently, according to label instructions. The method-effectiveness for Today® Sponge, which was derived from a controlled worldwide clinical study, is 89% to 91% (see Today® Sponge product labeling). What that actually means is about one pregnancy for every 1,250 to 1,500 acts of intercourse Today® Sponge does not contain hormones. The active ingredient, the spermicide, nonoxynol-9, has been available for more than 35 years, has been used by millions of women, and has a proven safety record Because Today® Sponge is made of soft polyurethane foam that mimics the feel of vaginal tissue, it is extremely comfortable and generally undetected by either partner during intercourse. After years of clinical testing among more than 1,800 women worldwide who used Today® Sponge throughout more than 12,000 Menstrual Cycles, Today Sponge Was Introduced To The U.S. Market In April 1983. Studied In 20 Family Planning Centers In 11 Countries, It Has Undergone More Extensive Testing Prior To Introduction Than Any Other Female OTC Contraceptive. Updated World Wide Clinical Trial Results Continue To Confirm The Data Supporting The Labeling Of Today Sponge, Which Made It The Female OTC Contraceptive Method Most Recommended By Physicans. Today® Sponge is sold over-the-counter, without a physicians' prescription. No special fitting is required. Its small size allows a woman to carry it unobtrusively in her purse. In addition, it is disposable after each use. And, unlike the pill, Today® Sponge is used only when needed.

Review: sponge broken - the sponge when I took it out was broken!!! this could be not so safe in order not to get pregnant!
Review: WHOOOPEE! - This is truly a wonderous product! Ya just stick it in and go! Be sure to keep the suds away from your mouth, though (may result in slight numbness of tongue.) And please, keep in mind it is only 89-91% effective WHEN USED PROPERLY! Overall it is a great alternative to the other forms of contraceptives we have tried and tired of. The twelve pack is a big plus as well. Women with short fingers sometimes have a hard time removing it, but like the song says we'll get by with a little help from our friends! In my opinion there's only one question you should ask yourself before using this product... Are you sponge worthy?

### ⭐⭐⭐ sponge broken
*by C***A on October 2, 2013*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WHOOOPEE!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not the best thing out there, But not the worst either
*by C***E on August 12, 2006*

Its true about the numbness when doing oral or if someone was doing it to you and kissed you after, your mouth will most likely go numb. Not a bad product for someone who doesnt want to be on medication and also doesnt want to worry about side effects that you would have with other birth control methods. It does have its down sides like: You might have trouble getting it out and it might take away the "moment" if you have to leave to put this in.
