CAYA Diaphragm Gel

Product Information

The Caya Contoured Diaphragm is uniquely designed to fit almost any female body thanks to its ergonomic shape. The curved cervical cup is so thin that it will comfortably fit any woman’s cervix and will not be felt by you or your partner during intercourse. Caya is made from medical grade silicone which is completely safe for your body and feels silky smooth and natural. The reality is that many doctors are not knowledgeable about the importance of choosing non-hormonal birth control, and do not encourage diaphragm use. No. Because Caya is hormone free, it will not affect how you feel about having sex. The moment of intimacy shouldn’t be interrupted by use either, as insertion can be done up to two hours ahead of sex, and Caya needs to be left in for 6 hours after sex. Can I have sex more than once after inserting Caya?

The simple, all natural ingredients in ContraGel make irritation rare. However, just like you could have a reaction to a certain food, there is always the possibility of reacting negatively to ContraGel. Each person's body is unique. What we do know is that spermicides containing nonoxynol-9 have a high rate of reactions in users. If you are concerned for any reason before using ContraGel for the first time, we recommend applying a small amount to the skin as a test to see if you have an adverse reaction. If you have a special skin condition discuss it with your dermatologist before using ContraGel. In some countries spermicides that contain nonoxynol-9 are no longer distributed. This isn't because they are banned per-se, it's that they are simply not being licensed for medical prescription. This is typically due to a government policy aimed at promoting hormonal contraception which can be cheaper for the government and more profitable for pharmaceutical companies.After use and removal from the vagina, the diaphragm should be rinsed clean with warm water and unperfumed soap, patted dry and returned to its case. It should be stored away from heat. When researchers observed Nonoxynol-9’s ability to kill microbes in vintro, they initially thought it could be used to prevent the transmission of sexual transmitted diseases (STDs). Recent research, however, has found that N-9 might actually increase a person’s risk of contracting STDs, especially when frequently used. Researchers came to this conclusion after noticing that N-9 causes tiny abrasions inside the sensitive vaginal and anal walls.

No. Caya is a form of contraception, and is not designed to manage your period. Can I swim, bathe, or get in a hot tub with Caya inserted? The Caya diaphragm was completely redesigned to make an easier to use, more comfortable, and more anatomically accurate diaphragm.There is no difference. ContraGel, or ContraGel Green to use its correct name, has been around for decades. As part of a marketing exercise to try and sell more contraceptive gel alongside the Caya diaphragm it was decided offer ContraGel in a white box and tube and label it Caya Gel. Buying a Caya diaphragm with Caya Gel sounds good to the consumer. ContraGel continues in parallel with its own name and labelling. During this time, you're not protected against pregnancy and need to use additional contraception, such as condoms, when you have sex. A diaphragm or cap is a barrier method of contraception. It fits inside your vagina and prevents sperm passing through the cervix (the entrance of your womb). You need to use it with a gel that kills sperm (spermicide). Caya is a single-size contraceptive barrier device designed to fit a wide range of women (80%). It is easy to use and offers discreet contraceptive protection.

Caya is most effective at preventing pregnancy when you add a spermicide to the diaphragm before you insert it, which also provides lubrication for ease of insertion and comfort. The diaphragm may be inserted up to 2 hours before having sex. It must stay in place for at least 6 hours after sex. If you have sex again with the diaphragm in, you should insert another teaspoon of the Caya Gel into the vagina. The diaphragm can stay in place for a maximum of 24 hours.A diaphragm is a shallow, cup-shape made of silicone. In Australia there is one size of diaphragm available, sold as Caya. It is used with a special gel (jelly-like material), sold as Caya Gel.
