      They aren’t an alternative.

      From the website you linked’s own FAQ

      While a sleeve is non-porous and should not allow fluids to escape they have not been tested nor are they recommended to be a form of contraception.

      Yes a condom can be worn under a sleeve. Wearing one over a sleeve will not help if you are wearing it as a form of contraception.

          Especially if it’s true.

          Which if they haven’t tested them, which is an easy thing to prove for them, then this should not be recommended by you, or anyone, as a contraceptive.

          It’s like my ex trying to tell her birthcontrol is working just fine because she took 3 pills at once after forgetting to take it twice in a row even though the manufacturer says if you dont follow the directions you have to start the initial waiting period over again, because “i think they have to say that” (she also used those exact words)

          Bad advice is bad advice. Why should anyone ever trust their future and also their health by listening to your advice that directly opposes the manufacturers warning. They are legally liable for their product, you are just some random person potentially ruining peoples lives with your opinions.

          I hope they sue you for damages before anyone fucks up their life by being convinced by your bad attitude

            I mean, cotton swab manufacturers have to include an instruction not to clean your ears with their product, but let’s be real: that’s what they’re for.

              And any audiologist or ENT will back them up and also tell you not to do that and then give you examples of known reasons why they also say dont use them

                But they’re just the right size and it feels so good.

                  How is that in anyway relevant to this discussion about them as a contraceptive device???!?

                  You might as well be talking about the pull put method of contraceptive with a line like that, which is not helpful

                    I’ve been pulling out for years. It’s the way to go if you know what you’re doing.
