FemCap is a 100% natural form of reversible contraception. It is hormone and latex free and has been in production for over 10 years. FemCap is the only cervical cap approved in America by the FDA and has received the EU / CE 0050 certification.
FemCap is a cervical cap made of medical grade, hypoallergenic silicone rubber that is used in conjunction with a spermicide as a barrier contraceptive.
In order to be effective, FemCap must be used with a spermicide. Because of its all natural, chemical-free ingredients, Ethical Family Planning recommends ContraGel Green, the natural alternative to spermicide, to be used with FemCap.
There are many reasons why FemCap remains one of the most preferred cervical caps among women. One of the best things about FemCap is that it has no effect on either partner's sexual desire or pleasure and allows users to enjoy more natural sex. It is a safe, effective form of birth control that is easy to use and can be inserted hours before intercourse. Therefore, it does not interrupt spontaneity.
It is inexpensive, reusable for one year and environmentally safe. FemCap is made from a non-allergenic latex-free material and has an advanced anatomical design.
On top of that, FemCap doesn't interfere with your menstrual cycle and allows your body's natural fertility cycle to remain in place. This also means that FemCap does not effect breastfeeding or breast milk.
FemCap comes in three sizes and can fit almost any women. The ability to select the correct size without the need for a medical consultation (although one is always recommended) is another reason why FemCap is so innovative. This empowers a woman to take better control of her contraceptive choices. Women who use FemCap have full control over their contraception because it requires no involvement from the male. FemCap is often favoured by health care professionals because of its minimal training time.
There are only a few disadvantages to using FemCap and these are rarely serious enough to cause people to discontinue use. First of all, planning is necessary before engaging in sexual intimacy when practicing contraception with FemCap. Therefore, if you know you're going to have sex or are likely to have sex, you must plan a time to insert FemCap before getting sexually aroused. Also, because women are often unable to feel FemCap's presence, they may forget to remove it and leave it in for over 48 hours. To avoid this, women should use a calendar to monitor insertion and removal. Lastly, barrier contraceptives are slightly less effective than hormonal contraceptives.
Check out a close-up view of FemCap:
FemCap is available in three different sizes: 22mm, 26mm, 30mm. The size is determined by the rim’s diameter.
The smallest rim diameter (22mm) is intended for women who have never been pregnant.
The medium (26mm) cap is intended for women who have been pregnant but have not had a vaginal delivery.
The largest (30mm) is intended for women who have had a vaginal delivery of a full-term baby.
The only exception to these sizing criteria is if a woman had a spontaneous miscarriage and/or she was not aware of it. In that case, she would need the 26mm FemCap. If the woman and her doctor are unsure, they should use the 26mm FemCap to be safe.
In order to be effective, Fem-Cap must be used in conjunction with a spermicidal gel such as Gygel or ContraGel Green. A woman should not use FemCap if she has an infection in her vagina, cervix, or pelvic area or a cut or tear in her vagina or cervix. You must read all of the instructions thoroughly, including the removal advice, prior to using FemCap. FemCap is FDA, NHS, Health Canada and CE approved.
It is interesting to note that intercourse only has the risk of pregnancy for about 6 days per cycle during your Fertility Window. A healthy egg is only fertilisable for 18-24 hours and sperm can't survive for more than 5 days inside of you so that span of 6 day (5 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation) are really the only time when barrier contraception needs to be used for pregnancy protection.
