Condoms, which are lubricated with a spermicide, effectively prevent unwanted pregnancies - hormone-free, uncomplicated and prescription-free! Spermicidal condoms are coated with lubricant containing Nonoxynol-9.

What does "spermicide" actually mean? The word "spermicidal" means "sperm-killing". This means the viable sperm cells are killed. As a result, the woman cannot become pregnant - even if semen runs out of the condom or the condom breaks.

Condoms are a very safe birth control method when used correctly. However, there are situations in life in which you shouldn't or can't take the risk of becoming pregnant. Not to have sex is certainly not a permanent solution. And many women do not want to or cannot use hormonal contraceptives for a variety of reasons. Then a spermicidal condom is a reasonable alternative!

What are the advantages of spermicidal condoms? Spermicidal condoms do not contain hormones. In contrast to most hormonal contraceptive methods, they only work where they are needed - without affecting the rest of the body! And: spermicidal condoms also protect against sexually transmitted diseases just as safely and reliably as other condoms. In order for a condom to be approved for sale in Europe as a medical device, it must meet strict requirements. This also applies to spermicidal condoms.

The Kondomotheke tip: condoms contain significantly less nonoxynol-9 than pure contraceptives with spermicide (e.g. contraceptive suppositories), and therefore have no harmful side effects. Nevertheless, spermicidal condoms can cause allergic reactions (burning, itching) in some cases. In this case, please speak to your doctor to do an allergy test and exclude an allergy to latex.
