Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I ordered a free sample of these to try out before using with my boyfriend to see how easy they would be to use, and to see if I would have any negative reactions to them. I got 3 sample sheets in the mail, in tear-away single packs to be able to use one at a time. I made sure my hands were clean and very dry, and proceeded to open up the first one. I was surprised at how thin these are; thinner than a fruit roll-up even, but thick and flexible enough to work with. The instructional insert that came with the sample says to fold the product in half and then bend it over your middle finger so that its in half again, then insert your middle finger high into the vagina, very quickly.
So here I am, thinking that it would go in easier if I used my index finger instead of my middle finger. It didn't, lol. It got stuck on my finger once I got it in there, and got mushy and I had to rinse it off of my finger in the sink. But, that didn't deter me. I opened the second one and followed the instructions EXACTLY. It went in perfectly. I was even able to stick my wet finger back up in there a couple of quick times, without it sticking, just to be sure I got it on the cervical opening. I then walked around the house doing normal activities to give it time to dissolve thoroughly, and check for "side effects". I didn't feel a thing. About 20 minutes later, I decided to insert my final sample 'cause it says to use a new film for each sex act, and also to test the sensitivity and see if there would be any leakage. A few minutes after inserting the second film I did start to feel a faint itch, but nothing I couldn't handle, and a few minutes after that (maybe 10) I felt nothing at all. And there was no leakage.
My overall opinion of these is very good in terms of "usability". Can't wait to get the box I ordered and use them with my boyfriend to get his opinion and see if we will be adding these to our routine. I also like that they would be easy to carry with you because the packaging is so small; foams, jellies, and the applicators that go with them can be a hassle sometimes. I wish I could comment on the product's effectiveness as a contraceptive.
