Teens & the Sponge
If you only have vaginal intercourse once in a while, you may be interested in the sponge. You insert the sponge in your vagina before having sex. The sponge covers the cervix and prevents sperm from entering the uterus. It doesn’t contain hormones, and you don’t need a prescription or an exam to get it. Despite these advantages, the sponge is less effective than many other birth control methods. Also, it doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted infections.
