Medintim Caya Diaphragm Pack

I found it very easy to put in (I use a moon cup for when I’m on my period) so popping it in is quite easy. I would highly suggest practicing a few times putting it in and out before using it and possibly using a condom as well the first time (I had issues trusting it- but that’s just me not the product). When it’s in I am aware it’s there but it’s not uncomfortable, both myself and my partner at moments could feel it during sex but it’s not uncomfortable and it doesn’t get in the way. The gel is easy to use and would really suggest getting the one with the additional applicator because it makes putting it in a lot easier than using your finger. Strangely it’s smells really sweet, so that’s a plus! The only downside with the gel is it’s rather expensive but for the first month I used a lot of the gel out if paranoia. Would HIGHLY recommend watching as many info videos as you can, reading the Caya website as well to make sure you understand how to pop it in correctly and most importantly after sex leave it in for up to six hours or risk pregnancy. Other than that I wish I knew about this earlier great product!!

I wanted to come off the iud and let my body have a rest at 38. I downloaded natural cycles and bought a caya. I watched the caya video on YouTube so I could familiarise myself with the diaphragm. I found it very easy to use and I couldn’t feel it at all really. I have had a child 11 years ago if that helps for sizing. I feel a lot better for coming off hormones

The diaphragm is a great design and much better than trying for months to get one on the NHS. I am blind and find it very simple to use and totally not noticeable once inserted both by me or my partner. I am a menstrual disk user and this is practically the same for shape and insertion and removal. A good bit shallower than a menstrual disk because of it's purpose as a barrier contraceptive but as I couldn't see the pictures I thought a description could help others. The spermicide on the other hand is firstly very sticky and gets everywhere and slippery insertion is somewhat annoying. However my main problem with it was that it seems to of messed up my vaginal flora and I'm currently trying to fix both thrush and a uti. Perhaps I am just very sensitive to the ingredients which is likely but thought sharing my experience could prewarn others. All in all: A really great diaphragm that I love and enables me to have control of my contraception without hormones and being stuck on a nhs waiting list.

I was very paranoid about using this at first. I do not like synthetic hormone contraception and find condoms ruin sex, so this was an alternative option. I do not have children and have not been measured for a diaphragm. The item is high quality and even though it was bigger than I expected, it fit comfortably. Add the gel to the top and sides, squeeze the sides together and insert at deep as you can, before pushing the tip of the diaphragm forward, where you’ll find it rests nicely behind your pubic bone. I also use a menstral cup for my periods, which definitely helped my confidence with inserting and placing it. We couldn’t feel it during sex and thankfully we have not suffered any of the other issues people have mentioned in their reviews, (which, now I’ve got one, all sound like the users have not inserted it correctly). We have used it a few times and grow more confident each time. This is a reusable item, which means less cost and waste for your sex life. The only downsides are that it must be left in for 6hrs after sex to ensure protection from sperm getting to the egg, if you have sex again before it’s been removed then you have to insert more gel and wait a further 6hrs after sex to remove it, without exceeding 24hrs in total.

Good product and it works but keeping it in for 6 hours is tiresome. and it slips down a lot, you have to readjust it.

I bought this after being on the pill for 15+ years, had 2 kids (im now 39) then went on the implant (not my best decision) I decided I've enough of hormonal and spent quite a bit of time researching my opions. I've had this for 6 months now and it is now my contraception of choice. I had not used a diaphagm before so it was totally new to me. You do need to practice a fair few times, I cannot stress this enough. It should also be something you and your partner practice together so you can both be familier of how it feels when it is in the right position. I could not do it right by myself the first few times. I didn't know how it was supposed to feel when in place, I think i was a little scared of using any pressure to get it into place. My partner however, did it first time after reading the book once [no suprises there ha], so I was able to feel how it should feel, I have not struggled since, straight in first time taking only seconds. It can be a little bit of a passion killer for those women who have been on hormonal contraception forever like me and with a steady partner, but for those who use condoms there will be no difference, my partner was not sure about it for the first few weeks but I sometimes pop it in in anticipation [up to 2 hrs before], or at the very least put the gel on then close the little holder so there is less faff when the "time" comes. I wasnt too keen on leaving it in overnight originally, but now it does not bother me one bit, as you can't feel it. I think the NHS should reintroduce these; especially for those of us 30+ (as I personally just couldnt imagine using one before having kids in my 30s this is the only reason i say this), and for those of use tired of spending our adults lives full of fake hormones messing with us. I am 98% sure I do not want another baby. I use this along with the "Natural Cycles" app (not free but the only app ever to be liceneced in the EU as an official contraceptive), so I am confident that my chances of NOT falling pregnant are as good as if I was on the hormones still. I cannot see myself using anything else, and am 100% confident I will not go back to the hormones.

Hace ya un tiempo que me dejé los anticonceptivos hormonales, lamentablemente son un medio nocivo para las mujeres ya que incrementa el riesgo de sufrir embolias o un cáncer de seno, este es un medio anticonceptivo óptimo, no te metes cacas en el organismo, previenes un embarazo, con la ventaja de que cuando decides ya dar el paso de convertirte en madre, no debes esperar a que tus hormonas vuelvan a su estado natural, bastaría con dejar de usarlo. Me gusta que viene sellado y bien embalado, contiene CD con instrucciones de uso, una caja para guardar el diafragma y el espermicida. 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. Una vez usado deben esperar seis horas para retirarlo, no lo hagan antes porque disminuiría la protección contra embarazo y en caso de querer usarlo de nuevo antes de esas seis horas, basta con poner un poco más de espermicida usando el aplicador que viene.

Avantages : Une vraie alternative aux préservatifs et aux moyens de contraception chimiques ( aux hormones de synthèse cancérigènes). On l utilise régulièrement et je ne suis pas enceinte. La notice avec la video youtube est très claire. Inconvénients : Il faut le placer avant le rapport sexuel ce qui casse la dynamique de sexe spontané. Si on le place pas bien, le partenaire peut le sentir ce qui n est pas génial. Il faut le garder longtemps après le rapport sexuel.

Il diaframma è veramente facile da inserire e ben modellato. Una volta inserito non si avverte di averlo di dentro. Volendo fare un raffronto con un prodotto avente funzione diversa ma stesso sito di inserzione, è molto più confortevole di una coppetta mestruale. Io conosco le manovre ostetriche per cui non ho avuto bisogno neppure di leggere le istruzioni per capire come inserirlo. Ma soprattutto in caso di utero retroverso per chi nn conosce bene l'anatomia potrebbe essere un problema inserirlo correttamente sulla cervice. Aspetti negativi: la sua struttura è veramente molto delicata, bisogna prestare la massima attenzione nel maneggiarlo, perché anche un piccolissimo foro ne comprometterebbe l'efficacia. In secondo luogo io lo sconsiglio se intendete usarlo come mezzo contraccettivo unico, perché per quanto si possa usare il gel contraccettivo in quantità efficace e fare la massima attenzione alla presenza di fori sulla superficie del dispositivo, l'indice di fallimento di questo mezzo è alto. Indice Pearl 2-3 (fallimento nel 20% dei casi). I motivi: cattivo inserimento (ripeto un minimo di pratica è necessaria e di conoscenza dell'anatomia), possibilità che non aderisca completamente, che si sposti durante il rapporto (possibile in donne multipare o con allentamento della muscolatura pelvica), fori che non vengono notati. Io consiglio di associarlo come protezione aggiuntiva al preservativo , al rilevamento delle fertilità mediante sistema mini-computer, coito interrotto, rapporti extra vaginali in cui vi possa essere minimo rischio di ingresso di materiale spermatico in vagina. Inoltre consiglio di tenerlo in situ almeno 24 ore, perché altrimenti si rischia la risalita di spermatozoi ancora vitali, eventualmente non inattivati dallo spermicida. Il rischio di shock tossico è poco rilevante se non ci sono già infezioni o flusso mestruale in atto.

Hey Mädels Im Normalfall schreibe ich nie eine Bewertung, aber ich dachte das ich meine Erfahrung gerne teilen möchte und ich vielleicht anderen damit helfen kann. Ich wollte eine Hormonfreie Alternative finden, um mit der Pille aufzuhören und da habe ich das ,,Diaphragma" gefunden. Am Anfang war ich auch sehr skeptisch, habe mich im Internet viel belesen..aber wie heißt es so schön ,,probieren geht über studieren" und somit habe ich es mir bestellt. Das Einsetzen nach Anleitung vom Diaphragma habe ich mich schwerer vorgestellt, aber es ging wirklich super einfach. Tipp: Das Diaphragma sitzt richtig am Muttermund, wenn es sich mit eurer Beckenmuskulatur bei bewusster anspannung mit mitbewegt :) Ich habe das Diaphragma überhaupt nicht gespürt und noch ein positiver Aspekt, selbst mein Partner hat es überhaupt nicht gemerkt! Auch das Gel ist wirklich gut verträglich. Das Entfernen ging auch wirklich einfach und wenn ihr es nicht gleich heraus bekommen solltet, macht euch nicht verrückt! Sucht euch eine geeignete Position, bewahrt Ruhe und lasst euch Zeit.. Wie alles andere auch, ist das auch nur eine reine Übungssache. Hinweis: Ich habe das Diaphragma zum Probieren noch whärend der Einnahme der Pille verwendet. Zum Testen würde ich es euch auch empfehlen noch whärend hormoneller Einnahme auszuprobieren. Fazit: Ich bin wirklich sehr Zufrieden mit der Alternative und kann es jedem empfehlen der sich und seinem Körper nach hormonellen Präparaten etwas Gutes tun möchte und dennoch auf nichts verzichten möchte :)

Dopo vari tentativi a vuoto in farmacia finalmente grazie ad Amazon sono riuscita ad avere a casa questo diaframma. Trovo che sia facile da utilizzare, Le istruzioni sono chiare e c'è anche un video di riferimento per maggiori dettagli. Dovendo rimanere in posizione per molte ore reputo che sia anche abbastanza comodo una volta applicato. Lo consiglio vivamente.
