What do barrier contraceptive methods do?
Barrier contraceptives do exactly what the word suggests. They

provide a physical barrier between the sperm and the egg.

create a baby.

the sperm and help prevent pregnancy.
Some barrier methods can also help prevent the spread of sexually
transmitted infections (STIs).

contraceptive methods
• There are three broad groups of barrier contraception:

• Condoms (also known as sheaths). These are placed
on the man's penis before having sex. This stops the
semen from entering the woman's vagina.
• Female condoms. These are put inside the vagina, and
form a barrier from the sperm
• during sex.
• Diaphragms and caps. These are dome-shaped
devices which are put right at the top of the vagina
before having sex. They are rather more solid than
female condoms, with a firmer ring at the edge. Most
types come in specific sizes, and you need to see a
health professional to determine the right size for you.
