Spermicide is inserted into the vagina before intercourse. Spermicides come in gel, foam, or small, bullet-shaped suppositories that dissolve and release spermicide. Spermicides prevent pregnancy by blocking the cervix (the entrance to the uterus) and stopping sperm from moving.

When used consistently and correctly, 15 percent of women will become pregnant over the course of one year. 29 out of 100 typical users will become pregnant over the course of one year.

Avoid spermicides containing nonoxynol-9. The CDC has found that nonoxynol-9 can irritate the skin and actually increase the risk of STI transmission.

Spermicides do not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Use condoms to reduce the risk of STIs.

Spermicides are available without a prescription at drug stores, supermarkets, or discount stores.
