Contraceptive sponge
The contraceptive sponge combines a barrier and spermicidal methods to prevent conception. These sponges can work in two different ways. First, the sponge is inserted into the vagina, so it can cover the cervix and prevent any sperm from entering the uterus. Secondly, the sponge is produced with spermicide already inside of it, which is used to prevent the sperm from moving. These sponges do NOT protect u from STIs (sexually transmitted infections). To use the Today sponge, it must be run under water till it is thoroughly wet. The water is used to activate the spermicide inside the sponge.

Contraceptive patch

Elaine Tyler May delivers a concise historical retrospective and critical analysis of the development, evolution, and impact of the birth control pill from the 1950s to present day. In her book, America and the Pill, examines the relationship of the pill to the feminist movement, scientific advances, cultural implications, domestic and international politics, and the sexual revolution.

May claims the real impact of the pill—it’s as a tool of empowerment for women, in which it allows them to control their own fertility and lives. May effectively transitioned between subjects, the chapters of America and the Pill are organized thematically, in
