Phexxi, now called Phexx, is a hormone-free vaginal gel birth control used before intercourse. It is an on-demand contraceptive method rather than a daily pill or long-term device.

Phexxi works by maintaining vaginal pH in a way that makes it harder for sperm to move effectively toward an egg. It is used before intercourse and starts working immediately after insertion.

Phexxi is inserted into the vagina using a prefilled applicator. One dose is used before intercourse, and a new dose is needed for each act of vaginal sex.

Phexxi should be used immediately before or up to one hour before vaginal intercourse. If more than one hour passes, another dose is needed before sex.

You should use one applicator before each act of vaginal intercourse. A new dose is required every time.
