This gel is completely clear, has no noticeable smell, a natural texture; it is a gel rather than jelly. So it didn't take anything away from the moment and I’m presently in the 6 hour wait before I can take the diaphragm out and feel no irritation or unpleasantness. It’s a shame that this is not available on the nhs, as I’m not working, and if using a traditional gel would end up needing more care and attention and it’s not that much dearer that the one given for free on the nhs!!"},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"4.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"K***K"},"datePublished":"19 February 2025","name":"As described","reviewBody":"As described"},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"A***R"},"datePublished":"23 August 2016","name":"Awesome stuff.

It smells nice but not strong, the consistency is sort of ointment like in thickness. Thankfully, I patch tested this first, and it immediately made me itch and break out in a rash.

I was given spermicide by clinic but a look into the ingredients was not keen as im quite concious on what goes into my body so thought there must be a more natural answer... this seems to be it!"},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"3.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Y***R"},"datePublished":"8 March 2015","name":"So far :","reviewBody":"It is great that the gel is odorless.

It isn't very reliable for preventing pregnancy, and aside from that it also it makes sex very sticky and uncomfortable. I ended up ditching this and the diaphragm I bought to go with it.\n\nInstead I downloaded the kindara app, bought a BBT thermometer and bought the book \"Taking Charge of Your Fertility\" by Tony Weschler, to learn how to track my temperature and cervical mucus changes to determine when I am fertile. This is called the symptothermal method of fertility awareness and when done correctly and consistently has the same efficacy as the contraceptive pill. There are lots of studies on it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12309198\n((This is NOT the \"rhythm method\" where you just count days)). \n\nThis symptothermal FAM has worked for my boyfriend and I for 3 years now, 0 pregnancies and we are both in our early 20s and very fertile.\n\nI know this is a bit more info than you asked for but if you are looking for hormone free birth control I hope this helps!"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"This may be a daft question but can a little of this be used like normal lubricant?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Hi, yes it can. It's not optimised as a lubricant but being a gel it does indeed have lubricating properties. Note that ContraGel shouldn't be used on it's own as a contraceptive, but with a barrier, however if you just want to use it as a lube which is a bit 'safer' then no problem."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"So is this actually a spermicide or just an alternative? Less effective than normal spermicide?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It’s a natural alternative to spermicide\nIt doesn’t contain Nonoxynol 9 which traditional spermicides do which can cause irritations “down there”"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the expiry please?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Hi, if your buying from Ethical Family Living in the UK then the expiry date is September 2024 or later, at the time of writing this reply. \n\nWe understand that other resellers bring their stock in from third party countries so we assume that their expiration date may be shorter."}}]}]}
