It's been about 10 years since I used a sponge. I never had any pregnancy scares with them, but my boyfriend and I both had minor irritation from the spermicide. Itched like hell for a few days after. You have to put it in a certain number of hours ahead of time, then you have a large window of several hours to have sex, and then you have leave it in for a certain number of hours afterwards. (So make sure you read and follow the directions carefully.) This means that you have to be in a sex marathon mood to get your money's worth.
I noticed that "sponge-worthy" Seinfeld episode referenced here. So funny, so true!
