The Hall of Contraception takes a historical look at other forms of birth control.
Here are a few other links related to the museum and history, interview with the curator and another article with more historical details
Some earlier contraceptive methods sound very practical:
During the Middle Ages in Europe, magicians advised women to wear the testicles of a weasel on their thighs or hang its amputated foot from around their necks
In more recent New Brunswick, Canada, women drank a potion of dried beaver testicles brewed in a strong alcohol solution
That was a really good article, Abiezer_Coppe. Thanks!
Contraception. Contraption. I get it now.
