    Contraceptive sponges are/were basically the precursors to IUDs. Basically a (simplifying) female controlled form of birth control for people who don’t respond well to The Pill.

    As it provides zero protection against STIs, it is theoretically a form of birth control you use in addition to a condom (in case of tears/improper sizing) or with a partner you are fluid bonded to and are comfortable having The Talk in the event of a missed period.

    Mostly it just raised a LOT of questions about what Ms Benes was getting up to with these randos

    … was this when she wanted to bang a Kennedy? Oh god, now I need to look up which one… To The Plex Server!!!

      It was JFK Jr, he crashed a plane in the ocean in 1999, the year after Seinfeld ended.

      The episode is S04E10 “The Contest”, “The Sponge” is S07E09 and Elaine is in a steady relationship with Puddy around that time, so who knows what she was using with Kennedy.
