great! March 28, 2007

initially i was a bit confused at what to do and how to operate it, but then i got it. you take the blue top off the first stick, then push that end inside you, and with the skinnier stick, you use that to push inside the bigger stick to push the stuff in you. if u don't comprehend my instructions i think you'll figure it out when you get it...i like this product and it's concept. its a substance you put in your genital to avoid pregnancy. the substance is like some type of thin goo. it makes the condom even more effective. i feel that this, with a condom is like being 100% safe...i've been searching hard for a contraceptive for my tastes. this has no side effects like the pill, no pushing a scary cloth or diaphagrm up you. this is simple and quick. i will be purchasing again.

I have used Conceptrol either alone or with condoms for the last 10 years because I don't take hormonal birth control. I like that it is easy to use, not messy because of it's single applicator, it can be inserted before sex so you don't have to interrupt the flow of things to get contraceptives, and it is also a great lubricant. I have found it quite effective - no unplanned pregnancies! It is as described - odorless, tasteless, non-staining! The only downside is that clean-up after sex is more messy than other forms of contraceptives.
Great product! June 16, 2010

I bought this because I hate being on birth control hormones. It's really easy to use and some people say it drips out but I didn't have that problem! There's no mess and it only takes about a minute to apply. I have a toddler and we're not ready for another baby just yet so I've been using it for about a month and a half and I haven't gotten pregnant.
 Works with diaphragm May 6, 2010

Use this with a diaphragm. Works well, but it's a little inconvenient that it is in individual packages instead of a bigger tube. At least the applicators have lids, though. I use 1/2 a tube each time with a diaphragm.
Good choice for birth-control in a monogamous relationship July 26, 2010

If you are looking for an alternative contraceptive method to condoms, sponges and birth-control pills, this may be a good choice for you. Hormone-free, this contraceptive gel is the same substance used on some condoms - it's a spermicide - killing the sperm cells on contact and providing a barrier to live sperm being able to get through the cervix.
Each packet contains one application. That means that if you have sex more than one time, you must insert one more application of this product prior to intercourse. The packaging states that you must insert each dose prior to sexual intercourse; having sex within 1 hour of insertion of the contraceptive gel. The process takes only about a minute to do, and can be done prior to foreplay.
The applicator itself comes with fairly poor instructions, however if you've ever used an applicator for yeast infection medicine, it's basically the same 'plunger-type' applicator. Remove the blue tip (it unscrews) and insert the plunger (has a button type top to it with the other end being very narrow) into the top (opposite end of where the blue tip was and insert it gently into the tube. Place the end of the tube that had been covered with the blue tip into your vagina until you feel it bump up against your cervix. Gently depress the plunger to extract the contraceptive gel, then gently remove the applicator. The gel is in, and you now have approximately 60 minutes in which you are 94% protected (if inserted correctly) from unwanted pregnancy.
Note this product does not protect you from STDs *(Sexually Transmitted Diseases). You can also use this product in combination with a condom for added protection. Do not douche for at least 8 hours following intercourse after using this product. You need to give it time to kill the sperm in your partner's ejaculate.
Overall my husband and I like this product very much. It's a good alternative to condoms in a monogamous, disease-free relationship. It does not drip, if inserted properly, but adds to natural lubrication.
One thought regarding oral sex and this product. It says on the box it is tasteless. Nothing about 'edible' though. Frankly, as it's a poison of sorts, I would find it difficult to encourage my partner to test it out.
