Foam is placed into the woman’s vagina using an applicator (similar to tampon insertion). It has two effects. It kills or destroys sperm which is why it is called “spermicidal”. It blocks the man’s fluids from entering the cervical canal, thus, stopping sperm from reaching the egg. Among typical couples who initiate use of vaginal spermicides, about 25% will experience an accidental pregnancy in the first year. If vaginal spermicides are used consistently and correctly, about 6% will become pregnant. Complete information about this contraceptive is available from your clinician or the package insert accompanying the foam you choose.

Hopefully not as the only contraseptive because it's not all that effective, it should be used with a condom and diaphram for maximum results.

Read the directions. But I found out the hard way that I'm allergic to that so use with caution.

Usually you apply it about 15 minutes before you have sex. And by apply it I mean follow the directions that came with the box...

From personal experience I Can tell you that it is very messy and not very effective. I got pregnant while using the stuff.

Honey, you can use it any way you want--It still won't work!
Little sperm just love this stuff---they just GLIDE right on
