Phexxi for Birth Control
I've been using this treatment for a little while now and it's going great! I'm almost 44 and this has been perfect for us. No more hormones or condoms! Just be careful and add something else like pullout on your fertile days.

Can you come inside with Phexxi?

Answered by AI

Is Phexxi a good birth control?

"Phexxi is 86% effective at preventing pregnancy. This is more effective than spermicides and condoms but less effective than the pill, patch, ring, intrauterine device (IUD), or implant."

Answered by AI

Is Phexxi just spermicide?

"Phexxi prevents pregnancy by lowering the pH in your vagina. This makes it hard for sperm to move, which lowers the chance that sperm and egg can meet."

Answered by AI

Does Phexxi have taste?
