Apart from condoms / femidoms is there any non - prescription contraception that!


Question: Im 21 my boyfriend and I are looking for alternative forms of contraception as we find condoms and femidoms irritating. I've already been on the pill which made me like a bear 24/7 and im scared of any side-effects it could cause in long term use. I'm a student so can't afford to go tripping to the doctor every month so I need to find an non prescription form of contraception that will give in or around the same protection as a condom.
Are you able to help me, Please?

i went off the pill last year because after five years i was tired of the side effects and filling my body with hormones. i got fitted for a diaphragm. i like it better than the pill. i'm also interested in trying the sponge and vcf strips (basically spermicide). the diaphragm, when used perfectly with spermicide, can be around 95% effective. we've been using it for five months with no accidents. it does require a prescription, but not one that has to be filled every month. the sponge is similar to a diaphragm and has the spermicide in it already. i have found that at cvs - over the counter, next to the condoms.

you can get fitted for a diaphragm and use gel/foam. diaphragms are very inexpensive.
