The irritation is likely from the spermicide. Since you cannot separate the two, you should try a different method.
\nStill not working? Think about trying a method that does not require any spermicide.
\nIf you want to keep using a barrier method, consider using external condoms (male) or internal condoms (female). You might also consider using a method you do not have to think about each time you have sex, like an IUD, The Injectable, the implant, the ring, the patch, or the pill
\nTry a different method: condom, implant, internal condom, IUD, Patch, Pill, Ring, injectable.
