Have you tried vaginal contraceptive film (VCF)?
It's great but with only an 80% success rate, we usually paired it with a latex-free condom. It's a dissolving film with a spermicide called Nonoxynol-9. The only catch is that you have to insert it 15 minutes before having intercourse. I never had any problems with rashes or irritation, but apparently that's a fairly common issue with Nonoxynol-9 based products.

There are a number of contraceptive gels that contain Nonoxynol-9, but I haven't tried them, so perhaps that's where you're more likely to encounter irritation.
