Can anyone give me some feedback on your personal experience with the Today Sponge? I know this form of birth control was taken off the market a while back but was recently re-introduced. I asked the question earlier in Women's health but only got one response.

I am breastfeeding so the typical birth control pill will dry up my milk. I know there are some low hormone pills but I already have such a time with maintaining production that I am scared to even try.

The sponge like any other internal birth control devices are only effective if they are properly inserted and do not move during intercourse. Your chances of getting pregnant with the sponge are only slightly lower than the pull out method. I would highly recommend you talk to your doctor about a more reliable form of birth control than the sponge. I am sure it is never intentional, but there is also the problem of forgetting the sponge is in there and causing infections and discharge...

First, is the guy sponge-worthy? Sorry, obscure Seinfield reference. I used the first generation of sponges and was pretty satified with them. The concept is sort of like a diaphragm with out all the goo of contraceptive jelly and folding it and yourself to insert the dang thing. Just keep in mind it is not 100% effective.
