Diaphragms (or caps) 1

 
Diaphragm and spermicidal cream

A diaphragm is a thin rubber circular cap that fits over the cervix. You put this in yourself just before you have sex, and it is 92-96% effective when you use it correctly.

You will need to see a doctor or nurse to have one fitted for the first time, and then usually for an appointment once a year.
