VCF Vaginal Contraceptive Film is a non-hormonal contraceptive option for adults looking for an over-the-counter birth control method. The thin, dissolvable film is inserted into the vagina before intercourse, where it dissolves and releases Nonoxynol-9, a spermicide used to help prevent pregnancy.
This vaginal contraceptive film is hormone-free and does not require a prescription. It is commonly chosen by people looking for a portable, discreet contraceptive option that can be used when needed. The film begins dissolving after insertion and should be placed as close to the cervix as possible for proper use.
VCF must be inserted at least 15 minutes before intercourse and can remain effective for up to 3 hours, but a new film must be used for each act of intercourse.

Timothy –
I really like the VCF Vaginal Contraceptive Film. It’s made of soft material and feels like you are not wearing anything. I have been using it for 3 months now and so far I haven’t had any problems at all.
