User Reviews for Phexxi

I am using it 2-3 times a week, not as often as other couples. Never experience UTI or yeast infections, so overall I’m pleased with this as a means of being off the pill.

Phexxi was easy to use and I loved that it was non hormonal. It actually made sex better. BUT, I’m currently holding the newborn baby that was conceived after using Phexxi as directed for just a few weeks (maybe 4-6x).

I am voting for Phexxi! “no hormones” is great. I was bothered by side effects from Annovera rings and pills - headaches, headaches and headaches. I followed instructions 200% with care 2-3 times a week, and by far experienced no pregnancy or UTI. Did experience some “burnings” at the very beginning, it actually warms me down there a little. Will recommend Phexxi to my friends.

Followed the directions exactly, still got pregnet after 3 uses. Not a good option for birth control.

Love this product! I cannot take pills or vaginal rings. I having been using Phexxi with partner for over 9 months now. No pregnancy, no burning, no UTI. Last year there are lots of negative reviews, it turns out this product is effective. Highly recommend!

Finally this is best non-hormonal product. If you don't have to worried about STI, Phexxi will be a great choice. My partner and I used it with condom during fertile days. it is easy to use and very effective!

Not only did it make my husband burn, I got pregnant the first month with perfect use.

31 year-old mom. Before Phexxi I suffered from bleeding and headaches with Mirena IUD. I started trying Phexxi in 01/2021 has never experienced pregnancies or burning. It puts my menstrual cycle back - personally, dropping IUD is one of the smartest life decisions for me. I was hesitated after seeing negative reviews for this product last year, now I am glad I tried this product. *The only drawback might be that the product should be only effective within 1 hour. I would give a 5-star review otherwise Read More Read Less

Honestly confused at the other reviews here! This is the best thing to happen to me! I came off Junel Fe24 in September 2021 and started Phexxi in October 2021. My (almost) four month review is that it is absolutely fantastic! Simple to use. I am extra careful when using it and make sure to not go beyond the allotted one hour usage and also incorporate withdrawal. If you’re thinking of it or are holding back because of the price talk to your doctor! She was able to get me covered. no more hormones!! Read More Read Less

Works perfect. Love it.

I have been using Phexxi for almost a year now. I was hesitant at first because it's new but it's so easy and convenient. My partner usually withdrawals but if not, I am not worried. Phexxi is not getting the credit it deserves. So many hate reviews but honestly, no hormones, easy to use, lubricating aspect and only taking it when I have sex - not every damn day = 5-star review

Used Phexxi 3 times 100% according to the directions and got pregnant. Please take this off the market.

I’ve been using Phexxi similarly along with fertility awareness for about 5 months. I use phexxi every time I have intercourse, partner always withdrawals regardless of fertile days, and on fertile days we use a condom as well. I’m aware that Phexxi isn’t super reliable on it’s own but it’s worth it for me to be non hormonal and I use these other methods along with it. So far neither I or my partner have had any issues with discomfort or UTIs or yeast infections, but we don’t currently live together so we don’t have sex as often as some other couples might (1-2 times a week) I wonder if frequency would make it more likely to eventually cause one of us some discomfort. Do note that it has a very sour unpleasant taste that lingers if you plan to engage in oral sex any time after use, which is a bit annoying. So overall I’m pleased with it as a means of having safe sex without hormones, along with other backup measures.Read More Read Less

Switched to this method after severe migranes with the pill, loved it at first. Then low and behold, a positive pregnancy test after 4 months of diligent application with it. Expensive. Out of pocket, ineffective.

Yikes! I have not had ANY side effects or a pregnancy while using Phexxi! I didn't get the burning, at all. Biggest cons were kind of a mood killer if you don't use it early enough in foreplay, and mine doesn't usually glop out until the next day, buuuut, it's saving me the trouble of hormones I've suffered through for almost 20 years, so I'll take it any day of the week.

I have been off pills for 10 months and have been using phexxi since then. I was just perfect. For me, I have been on birth control for over 6 years (Depo shots and pills) I never knew what my body was like off birth control. This product was just perfect and I wished I could try it earlier. For me, I just cannot take more hormones and phexxi saves me from all headaches

Phexxi works perfect. I have been using phexxi for over 10 months. And before this I have been on birth control for at least 6 years (mainly Depo shots and pills). I never knew what my body was like off birth control! From my experience, phexxi is effective and is a great fit for me.

If you are young don’t use this. I repeat, young women don’t use this. The reviews all state unexpected pregnancies right away. I am 45 and not very fertile if at all so this method makes sense for me.

Phexxi is perfect! I am 29 and for me, I had strong side effects from IUD or pills. Phexxi freed me headache. I wish I would use Phexxi 5 years ago. I have been using Phexxi for almost a year, it was just great.

We got pregnant the first month of use. Its terribly ineffective. Its says on the box is just as effective as condoms (which is bs in my opinion) nowhere I mean NOWHERE does it say its only 86% effective. Not the box, not the small print. We never would have chanced that.
