I have used vcf more than a yr. i prefer it to everything else i've used for many yrs. my husband and i joke about waiting 15 min all the time. my only complaint is the sticky substance (gluey little balls) and my husband sometimes has a burning sensation after sex.

Comment:
My side effect symptoms didnt occur until a day or two after using the VCF. Left lower abdomen hurts, even when walking, radiating to leg n back (like UTI). Don't touch my vijay jay because it feels swollen, inflammed, slightly tingly/itchy. Doesn't burn when urinating, but it hurts inside on left lower abdomen, like UTI.

I have been using this product for about three months... It works well considering that its prevents you from getting pregnant. The downside is that it has caused terrible vaginal dryness, burning, and urinary tract infections in both me and my partner...
