Gynecologist Mercedes Herrero said that there are many types of contraception, but not all are equally effective and named four of the most useless of them, ABC reported.

Among the ineffective methods of contraception, Herrero named the vaginal diaphragm. “15-29 women out of 100 who use it for a year get pregnant“, she explained.

In addition, there is still an opinion that stopping intercourse saves from pregnancy. However, the specialist noted that this method is also not always effective and urged women not to rely on the fact that their partners are in control of the situation.

Herrero also advises against using creams with spermicides /b.r. a chemical substance whose purpose is to reduce the number of live sperm/ and the calendar method of contraception, which involves calculating fertile days.
