Sorry if this is the wrong group for this.

But I usually use condoms with Nonoxynol-9 for protection.

I used to see KY Jelly being sold with Nonoxynol-9 in it.
But I have not seen it in the stores for awhile now, do they still make it?

Do they make any kind of lubrication with Nonoxynol-9 in it?

I figure having double the protection is a good idea.

Thank you

Protection against what?

For a time, it was being marketed as being effective in killing the HIV
virus. Then it was discovered that it irritates internal tissues, thus
making the spread of HIV and other infections *more* likely. That's
probably why you don't see it on the shelves any more.

Protection against pregnancy, its a spermacide. You can get plenty of
spermacides, so why not just use that and lube?

Ok, I never used spermacide (or lube), other than whats on the condom.

How do they sell the spermacide? Liquid, gel, form?
How do I use it?

I assume I just take the lube and put it on the condom right?

Thank you

Yeah, usually in a gelly formation. You can use it in lots of ways. Read
the directions, some will say you can put them on a condom.
