Scott Orshan Bell Labs Piscataway 201-981-3064 houxm!u1100a!sdo " I OBJECT! one of the MAIN reasons the effectiveness rate for all contraceptives is lower than the "theoretical" rate is just this attitude that the WOMAN should worry about it...... keep this in net.singles! (note: I am not implying that only women read net.women, I am implying that this is NOT an issue for women only) (flame off...) On a different note: has anyone out there TRIED these sponges?? how does the comfort compare with the diaphragm ? how long before/after intercourse do they have to be inserted/removed ??
