Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get Toxic Shock Syndrome from using the Today Sponge?
Some cases of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) have been reported in women using barrier contraceptives, including the sponge (1 case per 100,000 estimated sponge users). TSS is a rare, but serious disease that may cause death. Warning signs of TSS include fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, dizziness, faintness or a sunburn-like rash on face or body. If you have any of these signs, remove the sponge and get medical help right away.
