There are two types of contraceptive - chemical and mechanical.

Chemical would cover 'medical' items... such as the pill or a spermicide

Mechanical covers devices... such as condoms, the cap, the coil.

What are the difference between barrier and hormonal contraceptives methods of birth control?

Barrier contraceptive methods, such as condoms and diaphragms, physically prevent sperm from reaching the egg, thus reducing the risk of pregnancy. Hormonal contraceptives, like birth control pills, patches, or injections, work by regulating hormones to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, or thin the uterine lining. While barrier methods can also provide protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), hormonal methods do not offer this benefit. Overall, the choice between these methods often depends on individual health, convenience, and personal preferences.
