	Cervical cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The cap is inserted prior to sexual intercourse and should remain in the vagina for six to eight hours.
		The cervical cap is 85-98% effective at preventing pregnancy for women who have never given birth vaginally; effectiveness drops to 80-95% after vaginal birth due to shape changes of the cervix and vaginal canal.

		I used a cervical cap not long after they were first approved back in the late 1980s.
		It sounds like the cap is a cute little button-like thing and is more compact than a diaphragm, but in fact, while it has a much smaller diameter than a diaphragm does, it is much longer (mine was about 2'' long, or -- think of a cylinder with a height of 2'' !).
		My midwife (who also fitted me for the cap) told me (after I got pregnant) that the effectiveness of a cap is lower for women who have had children-- something to do with the cervix having been stretched out and having deeper ''wrinkles'' in it after childbirth.
