Used this for three years and always faithfully follow the directions. My husband and I had sex once during the fertile period this month, used VCF and shockingly got pregnant. I would no longer recommend this product.

I USE VCF BECAUSE I CANNOT USE REGULAR HORMONE BIRTH CONTROL. CONDOMS ARE IRRITATING AND IT SEEMS TO WORK WELL. I'VE BEEN USING VCF FOR 3 YEARS AND HAVE NOT YET GOTTEN PREGNANT. HOPING IT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK FOR ME!

I hav used vcf for 8&1/2 years & have never got pregnant while using it. it has been very effective & easy to use & i would recommend it to anyone. But i just had a abnormal pap test & im just wondering if using vcf for so long has caused a iritation & its time to think about a permanent birth control.

This has been a great method for my partner and I. Condoms irritate my skin and these have been amazing. Your fingers need to be dry when inserting, or it will stick to them.

Comment:
I cannot use hormonal birth control and latex condoms. I have been using VCF for several months. My husband And I am happy with it. Sometimes it's hard to get in and sometimes I need to add ky jelly due to vaginal dryness to make sure it desolves properly. It makes oral unpleasant so that's out when in use. It's cheap and easy best of all it works. I will keep using them as long as needed.
