Once the most popular birth control option, diaphragms were praised for their safety, effectiveness, discreetness, and comfort for both partners. However, the rise of hormonal birth control and IUDs, coupled with the influence of the pharmaceutical industry, led to their decline.
Despite this, some women found diaphragms appealing. A growing number of women adamantly refuse to endure the numerous side effects and health risks associated with hormonal birth control. Additionally, a significant portion of women has medical reasons for avoiding hormones.
The Caya diaphragm (formerly known as SILCs diaphragm during develoment) revolutionized the diaphragm industry. Caya reimagined the perfect diaphragm, addressing common complaints such as difficulty removal and the need for precise sizing. The new Caya diaphragm is easier to use, more comfortable, and anatomically designed to fit a wide range of women.
The Caya Contraceptive Diaphragm Instructions For Use
Single Size Revolution
There are seven typical diaphragm sizes, and for a traditional diaphragm to be effective, a precise fit is crucial. Using the wrong size diaphragm significantly reduces its effectiveness. Additionally, diaphragm size changes with weight gain, loss, childbirth, or other vaginal procedures, further complicating the process of ensuring the correct size device is used.
The Caya diaphragm eliminates this complex sizing system by offering a single-size device. While Caya is not a one-size-fits-all diaphragm, once confirmed to fall within the size range of 65mm to 80mm, you can use Caya without the need for frequent refitting.
Approximately 80% of women fall within this compatible size range. For those who do not, they have two options: a traditional diaphragm like the Singa or a cervical cap like the FemCap.
For women who cannot find a healthcare provider to fit them for a diaphragm or a Caya diaphragm, the FemCap cervical cap is the only option that doesn’t require sizing.
- Diaphragms for reusable, instantly reversible, hormone free contraception.
- Latex free.
- Reusable for up to two years.
- Must be used with a contraceptive gel.
- Suitable for 65mm, 70mm, 75mm or 80mm diaphragms users.
Upgraded Design
The Caya diaphragm was completely redesigned to make an easier to use, more comfortable, and more anatomically accurate diaphragm.
- Flexible Rim: Breakthroughs in design and technology resulted in a contoured outer rim that conforms more accurately to the vaginal canal. The rim is light and easy to fold for insertion, yet flexible and strong enough to provide a secure fit.
- Grip Dimples: Raised dots the sides of the Caya rim guide you towards holding the diaphragm in your hand so that with just the slightest bit of pressure it shapes itself into a narrow, tampon-like cylinder shape. The two grooves that are created within the silicone when the Caya is folded hold the contraceptive gel. This allows for both the Caya and the gel to easily slip into the vagina.
- Purple Silicone Cup: The silicone cup is highly durable while still being unbelievably thin and almost silky, It is comfortable and almost always completely undiscernable during intercourse. And of course, the purple color is way more appealing than the classic medical white.
- Removal Dome: Caya incorporates a small dome at the front of the device that serves as a hook for easier to removal. This is a huge upgrade on traditional diaphragms, where users often struggled get a secure grip and comfortably remove the diaphragm.
The reality is that many doctors lack knowledge about the significance of offering non-hormonal contraception and discourage diaphragm use. Historically, traditional diaphragms were challenging to insert, leading to low confidence among women in their ability to use them effectively. However, controlled studies have shown a remarkably high rate of unaided correct insertion for Caya.
Caya’s user-friendly design is a significant triumph for natural birth control and barrier contraception. The correct use of diaphragms greatly enhances their contraceptive efficiency. The increased availability of Caya empowers women to confidently transition from hormonal birth control to this all-natural, highly effective, and side-effect-free alternative.
IMPORTANT: The Caya, like all diaphragms and cervical caps MUST be used with a spermicide or contraceptive gel, like ContraGel or Caya Gel.
