Contraception

The Today Sponge is a hormone-free birth control option that provides women with what they most often look for in a contraceptive: effectiveness safety ease of use confidence and spontaneity. Because it's available without a prescription and doesn't require any additional messy spermicide creams or gels it's very neat and convenient. Made of a soft disposable medical grade polyurethane foam that feels like natural vaginal tissue the Today Sponge contains the widely used spermicide nonoxynol 9. The Today Sponge measures only 1.75 inches in diameter and .50 inches in thickness. After the Today Sponge is moistened with water and inserted into the vagina it becomes effective immediately and protects against pregnancy for the next 24 hours without the need to re-apply messy spermicidal creams or gels — even with repeated acts of intercourse. *This product is not effective protection against AIDS HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases.
