Barrier methods of birth control are very popular, because they are temporary and do not mess with your hormones. The idea of barrier methods is that you place something either on the penis or in the vagina that will block the movement of sperm towards the female’s egg.
The most popular of all the barrier methods is the male condom. It is basically a latex or polyerethane sheath placed over the penis. There is also a female version that has a flexible ring at each end, one inside and one outside the vagina.
There are other devices that can be placed inside the vagina. Contraceptive sponges are held in place over the cervix. The cervical cap is another cervical barrier. The diaphragm is one very popular choice among women looking for a cervical barrier, and it is held in between the vaginal walls.
