Phexxi functions by maintaining the vaginal pH within an acidic range, creating an environment that impairs sperm mobility and viability, thereby preventing fertilization. This non-hormonal method allows for spontaneous intimacy without the daily commitment of traditional contraceptives.
Phexxi is ideal for individuals seeking a non-hormonal contraceptive method, those with sensitivities to hormones, or anyone desiring an on-demand, user-controlled solution for pregnancy prevention.
Phexxi contains lactic acid, citric acid, and potassium bitartrate, which work synergistically to maintain vaginal acidity. Additional components include glycerin, alginic acid, xanthan gum, sodium hydroxide, benzoic acid, and purified water, all contributing to its efficacy and user comfort.
