6. Use a fi nger to verify that the cervix is covered
by the membrane of the Caya
®
diaphragm.
Can you feel the cervix through the cup? If yes,
then it is in the correct position.
If you cannot feel the cervix or the Caya
®
:
Remove the diaphragm and try inserting it
again.
The edge of the removal dome should be
located securely and safely behind the upper
part of the pubic bone.
If you have verifi ed both of the above and the
Caya
®
diaphragm is in the correct position,
safe contraception is ensured. You are now
ready for intercourse.
7. After intercourse, the Caya
®
diaphragm must
remain in the vagina for at least 6 hours.
NOTE:
The Caya
®
diaphragm should never be
left in the vagina for longer than 24 hours
without interruption. Wearing it for longer,
uninterrupted periods can promote bacterial
growth in the vagina. These bacteria could lead
to Toxic Shock Syndrome.
In the event of repeated intercourse, or if the
Caya
®
diaphragm was inserted longer than
2 hours before intercourse, insert additional
contraceptive gel deep into the vagina with-
out removing the diaphragm.
8. To remove the diaphragm, insert one fi nger
into the vagina and pull out the Caya
®
diaphragm using the removal dome.
