The cervical cap is a barrier method of contraception.

A cervical cap is a device that is inserted into the vagina. It has a thimble shape and fits snugly over the cervix. There are caps in different styles and sizes. They are made of latex or medical silicone.

Initially a health care provider has to findout the right size for you. The cap must be inserted before sexual intercourse and has to remain in the vagina for eight hours after the last act.

The cap-like device Lea Contraceptive (US-Brand, in Canda: lea 's shield, in europe: LEA contraceptivum ) needs no fitting. It stays in place because of suction.
