CAYA Diaphragm Gel

Product Information

If you notice that your Caya is damaged in some way, especially after sex, it’s best to visit your healthcare provider (within 72 hours) to discuss emergency contraception options. The Caya’s® unique, contoured shape was found to be comfortable, easy to use, and effective to suit most women. As a multi-disciplinary professional membership organisation, we set clinical guidance and standards, provide training and lifelong education, and champion safe and effective sexual and reproductive healthcare across the life course for all. Caya should increase the number of women who are confident in replacing their hormonal birth control with this all natural, highly effective, side effect free birth control alternative.

The two grooves that are created within the silicone when the Caya is folded hold the contraceptive gel. If you lose or gain more than 3kg (7lbs) in weight, or have a baby, miscarriage or abortion, you may need to be fitted with a new diaphragm or cap. It is really easy to insert and you literally just check your cervix is fully covered and the lip is tucked under the pubic bone.And because traditional diaphragms were difficult to insert, many women were not confident in their ability to use a diaphragm successfully. Just like using a tampon, the Caya® diaphragm can cause unwanted bacterial growth if it is left in the vagina for longer than 24 hours continuously. Caya Gel is actually the same exact product as ContraGel, the long-standing choice for contraceptive gels. The rim gives the diaphragm the necessary stability; at the same time, it is so flexible that you can insert and remove the diaphragm easily. However, you should be able to feel it with your finger to ensure it’s in the right place, covering your cervix.

If you have sexual intercourse more than once while the diaphragm remains in the vagina, you will need to reapply the gel each time. If any of these things happen or you've had sex without contraception, you may need to use emergency contraception.The sample should not be used for contraception and it is recommended to consult a local diaphragm fitter. If you have been using a classic 65, 70, 75 or 80 mm diaphragm up to now, you can use the Caya immediately.

Please note the instructions for use on each individual diaphragm or cervical cap to ensure proper usage. And if you want to have sex more than once, you just add more gel into the vagina with the applicator. When you come across the Pearl index ratings of various barrier contraceptives, be aware that these studies are vastly influenced by incorrect usage. A diaphragm or cap does not provide reliable protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).It is formulated from six simple ingredients: Water, Lactic Acid, Sodium Lactate, Methyl Cellulose, Sorbic Acid, and Vanillin. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. In an outstanding new medical study done under the alternative name of ContraGel, Caya Gel was proven to be just as effective as Nonoxynol-9 spermicides when paired with diaphragms. There was a time when diaphragms were the most popular birth control available (think safe, effective, discreet birth control that is comfortable for both partners and easy enough to use. Typical Nonoxynol-9 spermicides like Gynol and Gygel are chemical surfactants — they have the same chemical makeup as harsh cleaning products.

When inserted correctly, the diaphragm covers the cervix and is positioned in the upper part of the vagina, between the pubic bone and the vaginal walls.When used correctly with spermicide, a diaphragm or cap is 92-96% effective at preventing pregnancy. After 2 years, the nylon ring inside Caya loses its “bounce back,” which can make it less effective. Please always read the labels, warnings, and directions provided with the product before using or consuming a product. However, if you do notice that your Caya®️is damaged in some way after intercourse, please visit your doctor immediatley (within 5 days) to discus the possibility of emergency contraception (“morning-after-pill”). Eso sí, debo hacerles la anotación: pruébenlo varias veces antes de tener relaciones sexuales y asegúrense de que está bien puesto, no se siente que llevas algo dentro y no incomoda durante el coito, recuerden usar condón para prevenir contagio de enfermedades, porque el diafragma no las protegerá en ese sentido.
