Today Sponge Today Sponge 3 Pack

You can push condoms till your blue in the face, but after people are in a healthy monogamous relationship they dont want to mess with condoms. And yes most grown folks know that if you mess around cause you "dont feel like using a condom" that there will be LIFE LONG consequences. But most child-free 17 - 25 years olds will not be thinking of the consequences - that's where non hormonal contraceptive like the Today sponge come in handy.I bought these and when they got here I had all my kids (age 20-10) and the oldest one's girlfriend and we all went into the kitchen sink. After I read the directions I opened the package and proceeded to get the product "ready" for use. Then I made all of them touch it and then answered any questions they had. YES, I SERIOUSLY DID SHOW AND TELL WITH CONTRACEPTIVES!!! lol They are so simple to use that my 10 yr old understood how do use it. Open the box and grab out a package, tear open the package, hold the sponge under running water & squeeze a couple times till it gets sudsy, fold & insert. Now you can have protected sex for 24 hours.You know alot of people will think I'm crazy, especially since I involved my 10 year old but honestly at about $3.50 a piece I can't afford to "mess" with too many of these sponges for show and tell. It was kinda cool though -- I had never seen a sponge before. (neither had my husband - he was in the next room holding our grandson so he looked at it afterwards)Since my 20 yr old made me a grandma this year and I'm only 34 I've adopted a whole new standard. I will buy contraceptives for ANYONE regardless of age as long as they let me know they need them. I dont care if their parents or spouses get mad. This is a difference of life & death - babies are a gift for the parents who want them and can take care of them.

Got an infection from using. Product was effective though!

I only found out about the sponge through the "sponge-worthy" episode of Seinfeld. How funny, and hey, my boyfriend and I are curious, why not, let's buy some on Amazon! We read the instructions (huge turn on by the way) and watched a few YouTube videos to get comfortable with the steps to insert it and what to expect afterwards. It was a bit messy going in and I wasn't sure but I was like 76% percent sure it had flipped over when I put it in but I had no luck moving it or flipping it around so I said, "Hose it." The sex was almost perfect for me but I could feel a slight discomfort when my boyfriend was all the way in. He didn't feel it at all and the fun part was that we could take a break and then go at it again without having to find another condom or think about pulling out. So after we were done, you're instructed to leave it in for six hours before then removing it. I thought, "Okay, cool, whatever- it's my day off we'll go out." Eventually, I went home to watch a new live stream of the RT Podcast when the time came for me to take it out. Now, maybe I'm weird but I'm not EXTREMELY comfortable or anything when it comes to digging around downstairs. I don't know why, I'm always afraid I'm going to break something or hurt myself. So I'm already not happy that I have to dig around for the stupid thing, and because it did what I had expected, The string wasn't on the side I could reach to pull the darn thing out. I felt panicked, frustrated, upset and totally defeated. :( I felt so bad, I had to call my boyfriend in the middle of his RPG and ask him to drive over to help me take it out. It only took him about 5 minutes of digging but it made me feel so worthless that I couldn't do it myself and it didn't help that when I was waiting for him to come over I had read the bad review about the girl who had to go to the emergency room. :/ Anyways, I don't know what I'm going to do with the other two. Oh, and because I had it flipped around, we didn't want to risk it, so we ended up buying Plan B anyways which was annoying and another expense. Yeah...only do this method if you have someone who can help you pull it out if you end up in my predicament. I...might...try it one more time to give it another chance and see if I can put it in correctly, but I've gotta say it's a really lame feeling when you feel helpless with a product that claims to be easy and convenient.

I was impressed with how easy these were to use and that you can't feel them (despite the fact that they look intimidatingly large). I liked that you could put them in ahead of time without a short window like contraceptive film. Got an infection, though. That kind of put me off of them.

These work pretty well, easy to insert just carefully push in and fit it up around the cervix. We love that it can stay in for up to 30 hours for numerous "encounters" without having to mess with changing anything. And of course my husband likes not having to wear a condom. I do not do well on hormones so I track my cycle and we use condoms during my fertile times but this is a great option for my least fertile times.My husband says sometimes he can feel it but it's not bad, I think he's feeling the string. I can also sometimes feel it and that's the only thing I didn't like. I had no problems getting it in and out so far. Just wish they weren't so expensive!

I was a little worried because I'd never used these before, only taken the pill, but it worked great! No little ones growing inside me yet (I do have two kids already and get pregnant very easily). It drains a bit which is uncomfortable, but with it just being in for 24 hours and I don't have to take the pill anymore, I'm ok with it. Plus I only use it during my fertile times, and because it's so expensive I make sure we are both ready to have a lot of sex. :-)

Nope. Never again. I gave it a shot to see what the buzz was all about, but, nope. Gross and terrible and painfully itchy/burning. Nope, nope, nope.

Great contraceptive. I've been using these for years and love these. Sometimes they can be a little difficult to get out, however if you beat down it helps.
