Vaginal spermicides come in the form of contraceptive jellies, creams, and suppositories. Spermicides are less than 100% effective in preventing pregnancy.
Spermicidal Cream: The spermicidal cream or jelly needs to be placed inside your vagina with an applicator before intercourse. It is inserted deep into the vagina just before intercourse. If a second episode of intercourse occurs, additional spermicide must be used.
Spermicidal Suppositories: Spermicidal suppositories need to be unwrapped and pushed inside your vagina against the cervix. You must wait 10-15 minutes for the suppository to melt before it is will work to prevent pregnancy.
Spermicides contain a chemical that kills the sperm before they reach the uterus (womb).
You should not use spermicides if:
Spermicides may cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals.
