A tampon applicator is described in which a spermicidal solution is stored in the plunger and released into a disposable tampon just prior to insertion of the tampon. The experiences of 26 volunteers who used the device at the time of coitus suggest that the method is both acceptable and feasible, although four of the ten subjects attempting tampon removal by themselves experienced some difficulty. Postcoital studies of the cervical mucus near the time of ovulation were conducted on 16 subjects and no motile spermatozoa were found. This suggests a high degree of theoretical effectiveness.

PIP: Paid volunteers recruited from the University of California Medical Center utilized a vaginal tampon-spermicide device at the time of coitus and then completed a 14-item questionnaire which assessed the acceptability and feasibility of this method. The device consisted of the main barrel with a plunger, the nonoxynol-9 spermicide, and a tampon, initially a cellulose sponge and later on a commercial menstrual tampon. When ovulation was determined through postcoital cervical mucus examination, the sponge was then inserted within 1 hour prior to coitus and studies were conducted 4-18 hours postcoitally. Results indicated that: total immobilization of sperm occurred in less than 30 seconds, tampon was easy to insert, only 1 user experienced any discomfort, removal was easy, and 7 male partners were aware of the tampon during intercourse. 1/2 of the volunteers stated that they would use the method providing it were effective and readily available. The results of the postcoital studies suggest a high degree of effectiveness for this method. Advantages of the method are: that it is devoid of any local or systemic side effects; tampon is best stored separate from the spermicide solution to insure physical and chemical stability of each; applicators can be stored indefinitely; spermicide and/or tampon design can be changed or adjusted at any time; no period of delay is necessary prior to coitus; insertion is as easy as menstrual tampon insertion; and cost is not high. The main problem is the difficulty in removal due to shortening of the string and this could be easily modified by design changes.
