What is the contraceptive jelly?

Contraceptive jelly is a thick liquid infused spermicide and is used as a form of contraception. A spermicide is a substance that can kill the sperm that comes into contact with. The combination of dense jelly that can prevent sperm from achieving the cervix, and a spermicide that kills sperm, is often the recommended secondary contraceptive method. In general, it is not recommended to use contraceptive jelly itself as the primary method of contraceptive control due to their relatively poor efficiency compared to other popular methods. Contraceptive jelly can also sometimes double as a sexual lubricant, but the spermicide can have negative side effects for each partner. While the specific application method will vary depending on what other contraceptives are used in conjunction with, jelly is used to shoot a cervical cap or membrane, which then pushes against a female cervix. With or without a cervical blocking device is an anticonCapational jelly and other spermicides are considered to be the most effective when applied directly to the cervix.

Its efficiency in combination with a membrane is about 16 percent, which means that 16 percent of women using these two contraceptives during the first year of use will become pregnant. Perfect use, which means that the woman perfectly proceeded with instructions and left no room for errors, has a 6 % chance of pregnancy during the first year of use. With some other forms of contraception, this percentage may be half, although the method is used imperfectly.

There are many misconceptions and myths about how contraceptive jelly works, what it is and how people used it in the past. Some of myths state that people bought jelly and used it as a food such as spreading that one could put on a sandwich. Other reports quoted that people thought that as a contraceptive jelly might bet used jelly with food from strawberries or other fruit. Both of these myths are just stories narrated for laughter and there are no verified cases where these things happen. The promoted myth of contraceptive jelly serious nature is that it offers protection against sexually transmitted infections, which is false because it is effective only as a method of contraception.
