I also just went off the pill & am in a committed relationship. I am trying to track my cycle using the sympto thermal method, with contraception during fertile days. I bought some sponges & haven't noticed irritation yet, but we've only used it once. The only thing weird about it is that he could feel the "strap" and it was distracting; and it took a little while for me to get used to the spermicide foaming.
Either way, I hope it works out for me because I'm having an extremely hard time finding a doctor who will set me up with any kind of non-hormonal birth control. It's definitely important for women to have a lot of options because unfortunately birth control is almost always something we have full responsibility for.
