About Contraceptives After Intercourse09/22/2008 |
How would you remove a contraceptive (like cervical caps and diaphragm) after an intercourse?
A diaphragm or cervical cap should NOT be removed for at least 6-8 hours AFTER having intercourse. If you are deciding about whether or not to use a diaphragm, your provider should measure you for the diaphragm so that you have the correct size, and she or he should teach you about both inserting and removing it before sending you home with it. But the simple answer is: to remove it, you put your fingertip under the rim to break the seal and then just slide it out.
