Answer 12

The Diaphragm and Cervical Cap

Two additional barrier forms of contraception are the diaphragm and the cervical cap.

The diaphragm is a small, dome-shaped, flexible, plastic cup that a woman fills with spermicidal (sperm-killing) jelly and then inserts inside her vagina.
The cervical cap is smaller, thimble-shaped, and less flexible than a diaphragm. It is designed to fit snugly on the cervix. Like a diaphragm, it is used with spermicidal jelly.


Both the diaphragm and the cap are designed to block sperm from getting through the cervix and up into the uterus. If sperm make it past the plastic barrier, then the spermicidal jelly is there to kill them. (Note that spermicidal jellies can cause unwanted side effects in some women, another reason why the diaphragm or the cervical cap must be used only with the advice of a doctor.)

Both devices have to be prescribed by a doctor or nurse practitioner, and instructions must be carefully followed for proper insertion for maximum effectiveness. Both devices must also be inserted prior to sex and left in place for about six hours after sex to make sure all sperm have been blocked or killed. The diaphragm and cervical cap can be reused after washing with mild soap and water. Under typical circumstances, the devices last for about a year.


For women who have never had children, the diaphragm and cervical cap are up to 91 percent effective. For women who have had children, the diaphragm and cervical cap are only about 74- to 80 percent effective. These devices are less effective for women who have delivered babies vaginally because after birth the cervix tends to be larger and remains slightly more open than in women who have never given birth. Also, neither the diaphragm nor the cervical cap can prevent STDs, because they don't protect the vaginal wall from contact with infectious agents during intercourse.
