Barrier methods of contraception provide a way to put a block or barrier between the penis and vagina, thus preventing the contact of sperm and egg.
- Barrier methods prevent pregnancy by preventing contact between the male and female gamete.
- Apart from pregnancy, barrier methods also prevent the contraction of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Barrier methods do not affect normal hormonal functions.

- Examples: Condoms (for males as well as females), cervical caps, diaphragm, sponge, and spermicides (gel, cream, tablet).
