Thank you, as a HIV educator for Aids Health Organization, we recommend all persons to use water base lubercant, due to spermicide irritation that allows HIV to enter into the human body. signed D.L. Sais —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.26.150 (talk) 11:31, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be working on bringing the material in the nonoxynol-9 article into here. Allens (talk) 17:40, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"pregnancy rate" rather than "failure rate"

Note discussion at Talk:Birth control#"pregnancy rate" rather than "failure rate" re replacing occurrences of "failure rate" with "pregnancy rate". I would also like to see the same change on this page. Please make any comments there. --Coppertwig 04:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Globalize request

This article was recently tagged as U.S.-centric. I'm not sure why - it discusses several spermicides not available in the U.S. - neem is only available in India, menfegol in Europe, BZK in Canada and France. I believe the list is comprehensive. The description of octoxynyl-9 only mentions the U.S. - because it was only ever available in the U.S., and is now not available anywhere. I would like to fix any problems with this article, and would appreciate an explanation of why the tag was placed. Lyrl ^Talk _C 02:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Saturated sugar solution as spermicide?

Saturated sugar solution as spermicide - does it work?

Intro

"Spermicides are unscented, clear, unflavored, non-staining, and lubricative."

Is that necessarily the case? I thought that it was possible and perhaps even likely for there to be fluids that aren't totally clear, or have some kind of scent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.47.150.42 (talk) 01:46, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Distinguish spermicide (alone) versus spermicide in conjunction with barrier methods

The pregnancy rate for this contraceptive may leave a lot of readers confused unless it's distinguished in which capacity the spermicide is being used. While it's available in tablet, gel, or film form, most people encounter N9 as a condom lubricant. It would be good to know the relative performance of spermicide alone versus no contraception and spermicide combined with barrier method relative to only barrier and no contraception. These distinctions will help readers also to make informed decisions about their own contraceptive choices. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saffloped (talk • contribs) 21:23, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

merge vaginal film

Suggest Vaginal contraceptive film be merged into this article. Just be one of the various methods of delivering spermicide (creams, gels, etc.) Zodon (talk) 07:46, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the absence of objections over this last year, I have merged these two articles. LT90001 (talk) 11:23, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contragel Green?

Hello, I'm wondering if the lack of mention of Contragel Green^[1], a non-nonoxinol-9 spermicide that is approved for use in the EU and Canada, is an indication that it's total crap. ;) Does anyone know anything more about this product or should I go ahead and add a bit? Thanks. dmnapolitano (talk) 14:20, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
