It's an old wives tale my dear. This is not true. :)

I think in the olden days they used sponges soaked in vinegar the same way we use nuva rings or diaphragms today. But as to its effectiveness, I don't think so....

The Egyptians were smart. They even had tampons made from papyrus!

Yeah funny LOLOL!!! I really laughed for real at reading this. What in the world does vinegar hve to do about birth control. Surely,maybe there are similar ingredients between vinegar & popular BC methods, but putting vinegar literally down there? That is really hilarious & ridiculous!!! Not to mention how your vagina is gonna smell after that. ROFL! ]:D

here's what they do Gigi: They soak sponges in vinegar before intercourse. When they are ready, the woman inserts the vinegar soaked sponge into her vagina like a diaphragm. The vinegar is acidic so sperm that goes into contact with the vinegar dies, preventing conception. After sex, the woman removes the sponges to be reused the next time she wants to do the nasty.

but I dont think its reliable though. not to mention that acidity messes with the vagina's natural pH, making her more prone to infection.

I like the Ancient Chinese Method better; condoms made out of goat/sheep intestines. another method was using musk in a form of herbal soup which was a favorite among prostitutes and concubines...the soup was very effective! but some of them ended sterile!

Can I just say that this topic is very educational and fun!

I have actually used this and I *think* successfully? I used a douche after sex with about 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water. I never thought of using a vinegar-soaked sponge! brilliant!!! Anyway, I'm telling you that for a year I was in relationship with a man 10 years younger than me (he was 25 and I was 35) and sorry if this is TMI-- but we did it minimum 2x day--- for a year and I didn't get pregnant-- Until, it was the last day of my period--- I was lazy-- I didn't use it--- and I got pregnant!
