General Information
This product may be inserted up to eight hours prior to intercourse, but may only be used once. Subsequent acts of intercourse must use another pouch or other contraceptive. Remove pouch and discard if it rips or tears, the outer ring enters the vagina, or the pouch bunches up inside the vagina. If additional lubrication is required, may use either oil-based or water-based lubricants. Store pouches in a cool, dry place. Always check the expiration date on product. Pouches are not 100% effective against pregnancy, HIV, or STDs. If the female is using any vaginal products for medical purposes, the pouch may be weakened and effectiveness reduced. Wash hands, penis, vagina, and surrounding areas before and after intercourse to help prevent infection. This product has a 21-25% failure rate.
