    This document summarizes various barrier methods of contraception including spermicides, male condoms, female condoms, and diaphragms. Spermicides are chemical agents that kill sperm before they enter the cervix. Male condoms are latex or synthetic sheaths that trap sperm to prevent entry into the vagina. Female condoms are soft pouches that cover the cervix and block sperm entry. Diaphragms are flexible domes placed over the cervix that may be used with spermicidal cream or gel. These barrier methods work by blocking sperm from reaching and fertilizing an egg in the uterus.
