Cervical Cap Contraception

The cervical cap is a smaller version of the diaphragm. Made of a non-allergenic, durable silicone material, the Cervical Cap comes in different sizes and is fitted by your doctor, based on obstetrical history. The cap is shaped like a sailor hat to conform to a woman's anatomy and is designed to adapt to the physiological changes that occur during the menstrual cycle and intercourse.

Cervical Cap Barrier is just like Diaphragm Method. But the make material of cervical cap is different. Cervical Cap is effective against unwanted pregnancy but no defense against STIs and HIV if it is used many a time in a day. Basically Cervical cap is made of silicone and the cup has a shape like a hat. The Cervical Cap also placed in female organ with help of spermicide cream or jelly.

The cervical cap is a type of barrier birth control that is used to prevent unplanned pregnancies. Like the diaphragm, the cervical cap works to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. Unlike the diaphragm, however, the cervical cap is much smaller and fits more tightly around the cervix when in place.

There is a difference in effectiveness when used by women who have already given birth and women who have not. If used perfectly (meaning if it fits you well and you insert the cap correctly every time you have intercourse), the failure rate is of 9% in women who have never given birth. This means that if 100 women use the cap perfectly for a year, nine will likely become pregnant. However, the typical-use failure rate is 20%.
