This typical type of barrier method is very effective against unwanted pregnancy but no defense against STIs and HIV if it is used many a time in a day. So think before to use. Basically diaphragm is made of thin latex with a flexible edge and the cup has a shape of dome. The Diaphragm Cup is also placed in female organ to cover the cervix. It is as good as Contraceptive Sponge.
Getting a diaphragm requires a fitting in a clinic. During the fitting, a fitting ring is inserted into the vagina. The largest ring that fits comfortably is usually the one chosen. Different types of diaphragms are available. You and your medical provider can decide between coil, flat, or arcing spring diaphragms.
The diaphragm keeps sperm from entering the uterus by blocking the cervix. For added protection, spermicide is put into the bowl of the diaphragm and along its edges before inserting the diaphragm high into the vagina so it covers the cervix.
The diaphragm is inserted up to 6 hours before having intercourse. More spermicide must be used each time you have intercourse while wearing the diaphragm. After intercourse, the diaphragm must be left in for at least 6 hours, but no longer than 24 hours. The diaphragm can be removed by placing a finger into the vagina to pull it out.
A diaphragm should be replaced at least every 2 years. It should be examined regularly for holes or weak spots, and replaced as needed. With the use of spermicide, the typical effectiveness rate for the diaphragm is 84 percent. In other words, 16 out of 100 women using the diaphragm for one year will get pregnant.
