A gel injected into the scrotum could be the next male contraceptive::Biotech company Contraline has safely implanted a sperm-blocking hydrogel in 23 men. It’s designed to be a fully reversible vasectomy.

    All true, but they also feel awful, sometimes painfully tight, and are total erection killers. I use them, but I hate using them.

      It’s the pause in the flow of things to go get one and put it on plus difficulty finding the right size. Used em my entire life until my wife had an IUD put in. After a few ears she had it removed and going back to condoms was not super fun for either of us.

      On the bright side for me, a vasectomy solved all these issues and was totally worth the minimal process to get it. This solution sounds like a dream honestly.

        I can vouch for My Size. They have a sizing guide to ensure that you’re picking the correct size, they fit very nicely and snuggly but aren’t uncomfortable, and are vegan too. Both partners I’ve had/have and tried them with had no complaints whatsoever.

        Additionally, these are also great if you’re on the smaller side.
