Spermicide - Use With Condoms

Use With Condoms

Spermicides are believed to increase the contraceptive effectiveness of condoms.

However, condoms that are spermicidally lubricated by the manufacturer have a shorter shelf life and may cause urinary-tract infections in women. The World Health Organization says that spermicidally lubricated condoms should no longer be promoted. However, they recommend using a nonoxynol-9 lubricated condom over no condom at all.
