Lubricant or spermicidal gel

The lube can be used as an additional source of lubrication during intercourse and has many benefits. It can ease penetration, increase pleasure and reduce the likelihood of condom breakage. This lubricant does not contain Non-Oxyonol 9, a sperm-killing agent, and does not provide any protection against pregnancy or sexually transmissible diseases. Spermicidal gel, that does contain a sperm-killing agent, is also available.  You may obtain only one product per visit.

Latex barriers
