Where can we get this stuff. They used to make it for use with a diaphram, but we can only find the gel, which causes a burning sensation in my wife’s vagina. Anybody know who still makes the cream?

Do you usually shop at Wal-Mart or K-Mart? It may just be that they’re not stocking it anymore, having limited shelf space, but it might still be available at a real drugstore like Walgreen’s or Osco. It’s been years since I used a diaphragm, but I don’t recall hearing anything about them no longer selling the cream. I looked at a couple of contraceptive websites and they both mentioned the fact that some women are allergic to either the cream or the gel, so why would they discontinue one version?
