Buy Today Sponge! Today Sponge is now available from Canada without a prescription!
Today Contraceptive Sponge, introduced in 1983, became the largest-selling over-the-counter (OTC) female contraceptive in the United States. It provides women with what they most often look for in a contraceptive: effectiveness, safety, convenience, and sexual spontaneity. Made of a soft, disposable polyurethane foam that feels like natural vaginal tissue, Today Sponge contains the widely used spermicide nonoxynol-9. After it is moistened with water and inserted into the vagina, Today Sponge becomes effective immediately and protects against pregnancy for the next 24 hours without the need to add spermicidal cream or jelly — even with repeated acts of intercourse. A growing number of women are making the Today Sponge their contraceptive choice because it provides us with what we most often look for in a contraceptive: effectiveness, safety, convenience and sexual spontaneity. That's why the Today Sponge was the most popular method of female over-the-counter contraception during its 11 years on the market. Developed as a unique system for delivery of spermicide, Today Sponge was invented by Bruce Vorhauer, Ph.D. Today Sponge has been called the first successful product to incorporate a spermicide into a barrier contraceptive. The result is a convenient contraceptive that overcomes the inherent disadvantage of other vaginal contraceptive methods: lack of sexual spontaneity. For example, the diaphragm requires the addition of spermicidal gel or cream for the first and all subsequent acts of intercourse. If intercourse does not take place within six hours of insertion, a second application of spermicide is required. With spermicides alone, such as foam, cream, or gel, application must occur no more than one hour before each act of intercourse begins. In contrast, Today Sponge offers an immediate and continuous presence of the spermicide nonoxynol-9 throughout a 24-hour period, allowing for as many acts of intercourse as desired within that period without the need for additional spermicide. Today Sponge does not contain hormones. The active ingredient, the spermicide, nonoxynol-9, has been available for more than 35 years, has been used by millions of women, and has a proven safety record. Today Sponge is sold over-the-counter, without a physicians' prescription. No special fitting is required. Its small size allows a woman to carry it unobtrusively in her purse. In addition, it is disposable after each use. And, unlike the pill, Today Sponge is used only when needed! Nonoxynol-9 is released immediately upon insertion of Today Sponge and is continuously present for 24 hours. The allows for as many acts of intercourse as desired within 24 hours without the need to add spermicide. No mess. Just complete spontaneity. Because Today Sponge is made of soft polyurethane foam that mimics the feel of vaginal tissue, it is extremely comfortable and generally undetected by either partner during intercourse. |
