A complete Instructions For Use Leaflet can be found and downloaded via the link at the top right of this site. To help make using Today Sponge as safe and effective as possible there are a few steps you can remind your patients about.
When recommending to patients remind them to:
1. Wash their hands before inserting the Today Sponge
2. Soak the Today Sponge generously under water and squeeze very gently until nice and sudsy.
3. Insert the Today Sponge and push it against the cervix. Unlike tampons, the Today Sponge must be pushed all the way in to block the cervix.
