Caps, diaphragms and spermicides can be effective methods of contraception


ALTHOUGH condoms are popular, there are other barrier contraceptives, ie caps, diaphragms and spermicides.

Caps and diaphragms fit inside the vagina, covering the cervix. Vaginal diaphragms are shallow, circular dome-like devices made of thin, soft rubber with a flexible rim. Cervical caps are smaller and thimble-shaped, some of which are made of silicone.
