There are so many methods of birth control like condoms, pills, surgeries etc... And the latest entry in the list of birth control options is contraceptive sponge, which is proved to be 90% effective when it comes to the result.
Contraceptive sponge is a small, doughnut-shaped device that is coated with spermicide. The sponge is moistened with water and inserted into the vagina. It is made of polyurethane foam that feels like natural vaginal tissue.
The device works in this way, It releases a spermicide to kill sperm cells, it traps and absorbs semen before the sperm have a chance to enter the cervix and it acts as a barrier between the sperm and the cervix.
The good with the method is that the sponge provides a continuous presence of spermicide throughout a 24-hour period, allowing for multiple acts of intercourse within that time frame without the need for additional spermicide.
