Re: Subject: What kind of birth control CAN you use?

[Guest guest]

Foams and condoms TOGETHER are highly effective over 95% or

better....The problem is....you have to USE them. Otherwise of course

they do NOT work.

Talking about the sponge.....ewww I hated those. Off topic (men close

your eyes) have u seen the advertisements for the device you can use

while on your monthy? It sounds similiar to a sponge. They say you

can have sex while its in and can not tell...ie that it is in or that

you are on your monthy.....BUT it is not a birth control device.
