I keep Encare spermicidal insert thingies around for when condoms break, slip off, don't get put on in time, etc.
Whenever I use them, I bleed a little bit afterwards. Not too badly, but enough that I have to wear something to stop the blood from staining my pants. It generally starts the next morning and lasts thorugh the afternoon, but this time it's still going from yesterday morning.

Does anyone else have this problem? Are there other brands that are more gentle?

The problem is that probably all brands are going to use the same active ingredient: Nonoxynyl-9 and it's likely the N-9 that you're sensitive to. You could try http://www.birthcontrol.com - they sell products found over the counter in Canada, which includes at least one spermicide not found here.

Awesome. Thanks.
