For the prevention of pregnancy. A translucent square of material containing the active ingredient Nonoxynol-9, a widely used highly efficient spermicide. Placed high in the vagina as close as possible to the neck of the womb (cervix), it dissolves into a gel which exerts a powerful contraceptive effect against sperm. It is a potent spermicidal agent used successfully by millions of women. You won't even know it's there. It becomes unnoticeable by either partner. Because it is small and unnoticed in use, it can be used discreetly by the woman. It does not run and will not stain. It is eventually washed away with the natural body fluids. Begins to dissolve instantly. No hormonal side effects. Kills sperm on contact. Effective up to 3 hours.
Before using this product, read the enclosed package insert for complete directions and information. Be sure your fingers are dry before touching the film. Insert one film and place as far into the vagina as possible against the cervix. Insert film not less than 15 minutes and not more than 3 hours before intercourse. Use one film before intercourse. When used correctly every time you have sex, latex condoms greatly reduce, but do not eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Use a latex condom without nonoxynol-9 if you or your sex partner has HIV/AIDS, multiple sex partners, or other HIV risk factors. Tested by independent laboratories for determination of sperm inactivating qualities, using the I.P.P.F. agreed protocol. Store at 58-86 degrees F (15-30 degrees C).
