spermicide?

[loveofdaisies.livejournal.com]

I'm on HBC, but my fiance and I have decided we'd like to have a little extra reassurance at the end of every month that there are no babies growing in my belly, and I suggested spermicide.

someone here had recommended it to me, and the more I've thought about it, the better it sounds.

so now I'm looking for advice.

I tend to have a sensitive vagina so I don't want anything that might potentially burn.

I'm looking for something cheap, also. $10 or less would be great, $5 or less would be even better!

any brand suggestions and the like would be awesome! thanks girls!

Here is a list of pros and cons:

The Pros:

* Spermicides are usually affordable.
* They are easy to use.
* They can serve as both lubricant and contraceptive method
* They are available over the counter in any drug store

The Cons:

* They are not very effective if used alone
* Spermicides must be applied correctly, immediately before each sexual relationship, which can negatively affect the romantic mood…
* Except for the film spermicide, the others can be messy.
* Some spermicides taste bad and can affect the pleasure of oral sex. Try different brands to find one that you and your partner like.
* Some spermicides can create minor numbness.
* Spermicides can cause allergic reactions or rashes on the inside of the vagina or at the extremity of the penis. In the event of an intense reaction, you should stop using them.
* Spermicides can cause urinary tract infections.
* A pre-existing vaginal infection can reduce the effectiveness of the product.

Complications

Because of the chemicals, there is a risk of toxic shock syndrome--a generalized blood infection--with spermicides.
