Some disadvantages are that there is increased risk of toxic shock syndrome if diaphragm is left in for more than 24 hours. Also it may have to be used in conjunction with another barrier method to enhance its efficacy.

Answer 2

The birth control sponge is a form like substance inserted in the vagina and attached to the cervix and contains spermicide.
