does anybody use a diaphragm for contraception..how easy is it to use for a total nob

[zippitippitoes]

...and is there a lot of faffing about with creams

and is it likely to cause allergies etc

I used one for years and would still be using it if I was still able to get hold of the spermicidal gel. My fpc can only supply cream now and I am allergic to it so had to stop using mine. I never had a uti or cystitis with it and found it very easy to use once I got the hang of putting it in.

LOVE mine - I hate condoms and I hate hormones and don't want a coil. They're easy to put in (and yucky to take out). Please don't stop making them until I am menopausal.

"My fpc can only supply cream now and I am allergic to it so had to stop using mine."

So am I. I import Gynol II from the US, from online chemists. Very cheap and quick.

Thanks EBenes. I've been sterilised now so no longer need it but I wish I'd known that a couple of years ago.

so you can still get one can you i shall try the fpc then thank you

I love mine - fpc do them as do Marie Stopes.

Sorry to hear it, shouldbeworking. I think it is really bad the way the pill is pushed hard at all women but you practically need a special licence from the government to get a diaphragm now.
