Wash the diaphragm with soap and water, rinse and dry after every use.

No, boiling is not recommended. If required, boiling water could be poured over the diaphragm.

No, the use of detergents or disinfectants is not recommended to clean the Caya diaphragm.

No contraceptive method guarantees a 100% protection against pregnancy. Caya is just as safe as the classic diaphragm. Caya diaphragm used together with the diaphragm gel offers a double and effective protection. Consistent and correct use = more protection.

Caya used together with the diaphragm gel (E.g.: Caya gel) acts as a double mechanical barrier by blocking sperm cells from entering the uterus, thereby ensuring safe contraception.

No, the Caya diaphragm doesn’t protect against STIs. Although, it covers the cervix but not all parts of the vagina are protected.

No, the Caya diaphragm does not increase the risk of UTIs. The flat front edge of the diaphragm exerts less pressure on the urethra. We have very seldom feedback about UTIs by women using the Caya diaphragm.

The Caya diaphragm should be placed between the pubic bone and the vaginal walls. This could be checked by palpating the cervix with the longest finger: it should cover the cervix and the removal dome is located securely behind the pubic bone.

No, it is always recommended to use the Caya diaphragm along with the diaphragm gel (e.g. Caya gel) since the diaphragm along with the gel provides double mechanical barrier against sperms and therefore provides double protection against pregnancy.

No, the Caya diaphragm should remain in the vagina at least 6 hours after intercourse to ensure safe contraception.

For removal, insert your longest finger into the vagina and pull out the Caya diaphragm using the removal dome.

No! Wearing the Caya diaphragm for longer than 24 hours without interruption can promote bacterial growth inside the vagina. These bacteria could lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).

Yes, your Caya diaphragm remains in position and extra diaphragm gel could be applied with the aid of an applicator to the area in front of the Caya as per individual choices.

Sometimes the diaphragm might change its position, this is noticed when you palpate the removal dome. This is not critical: if your cervix is well covered, safe contraception is ensured.

This is highly unlikely. However, in rare cases, your partner may feel the rim of the diaphragm.

Users report an improved libido compared to hormonal contraception.

First verify the correct position of the Caya diaphragm using a finger. If the Caya diaphragm continues to cause pain, please visit your doctor.

No case is known of a Caya diaphragm becoming damaged during sexual intercourse.

After first use, the Caya diaphragm shouldn’t be used for a period longer than 2 years.

Yes. All types of condoms can be used together with the Caya diaphragm. The coating of the silicon oil on the condoms does not affect the safety of the diaphragm.

Only water-based lubricants should be used together with the Caya diaphragm. But please note that there are no studies investigating the influence of water-based lubricants on the physical or chemical properties of the diaphragm gel (e.g. Caya gel).

Yes, the Caya diaphragm can be used as a contraceptive during menstruation.
