Diaphragm / cap-with-spermicide

EFFECTIVENESS

Latex types are 92-96 per cent effective if used correctly. Between four and eight woman in 100 can fall pregnant in a year. Silicone caps are less effective.

HOW IT WORKS

A flexible latex or silicone device, used with spermicide, is put in the vagina to cover the cervix. This stops sperm from entering the uterus and meeting an egg.

ADVANTAGES

Can be put in any time before sex.
You only have to use it when you have sex.
No serious health risks.

DISADVANTAGES

Putting it can interrupt sex.
Extra spermicide is needed if you have sex again.
Some people can be sensitive to spermicide.
Cystitis can be a problem for some diaphragm users.
Can take time to learn how to use it correctly.

COMMENTS

Correct size needs to be known and you need to replace it if you gain or lose more than 3kg (7lbs), have a baby, miscarriage or abortion
