Abstract
A vaginal device provides physical and chemical barriers to contraception or protection against sexually transmitted diseases, or both. The device includes a towelette having approximately 5 ml of preventive formulation incorporated therein by absorption. During intercourse, the towelette rests in the upper vagina and effectively functions as both a physical and chemical barrier to contraception. In some embodiments, the towelette may become compressed into a crumpled, disc-like shape, which may enhance its properties as a physical barrier. Means to facilitate insertion and removal of the device are described.
