Don't let chemical laden nonoxynol-9 spermicide hinder your goal of all natural contraception. All diaphragms and cervical caps must be used with a contraceptive gel— choose ContraGel instead of N-9 based spermicide to avoid abrasive chemicals and skin irritation. ContraGel is available without a prescription. Large 60ml tube provides more applications than leading typical spermicide brands. ContraGel Natural Spermicide Alternative ContraGel contraceptive gel is a nonoxynol 9 free spermicide alternative to be used in conjunction with a diaphragm or cervical cap. Despite the lack of harsh chemicals ContraGel is effective on a number of levels. The thick gel provides the added seal necessary for effective barrier contraceptive use. The viscous consistency creates a a physical barrier to the cervix. The lactic acid reduces ph-value of vaginal mucus making it inhospitable to sperm. Before inserting a diaphragm or cervical cap into the vagina cavity, about 3 ml of gel is deposited into the cavity of the diaphragm or the brim of the cervical cap. Then, the diaphragm or cervical cap is folded and inserted into the vagina. The tip of the cervix should be resting in the gel, and the barrier should be completely covering the cervix. As such, the cervix is covered and closed twice: first by the silicone membrane of the barrier, then by the gel. These two physical barriers prevent sperm from entering the cervix. If sperm does by-passed the silicone barrier, comes in contact with the gel and can not move into the cervix and uterus. Please note the instructions for use on each individual diaphragm or cervical cap to ensure proper usage. ContraGel formula is water-based. It is effective with silicone and natural latex rubber barriers.
