No contraceptive method can guarantee 100% safety from unwanted pregnancy. The Singa®️ diaphragm is just as safe as the classic diaphragm. The more often you use the Singa®️ diaphragm, the more confident you will become in using this contraceptive.

Use your longest finger (usually the middle finger) to check the correct position of the diaphragm: Check whether the membrane covers the cervix completely. If this is the case, you are reliably protected.

After the first time it is used, the Singa®️ diaphragm may be used for up to 2 years.

Sperm are no longer active after this period. These 6 hours are for your own safety and to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.

If you have a vaginal infection (e.g. fungal infection), ask your doctor about treatment. During treatment use condoms and NOT a diaphragm. Once treatment is finished, you should replace the Singa®️ diaphragm with a new one.

Yes, but ONLY water-based lubricant gels should, however, be used. Do not use ANY lubricant gels containing silicone together with the Singa®️ diaphragm! There are no studies on the tolerability of contraceptive gels when used together with commercial lubricants. Eventual limitations in terms of the efficacy of contraceptive
gels cannot therefore be ruled out. Alternatively, you may use Caya®️ Gel as a lubricant. The Singa®️ diaphragm may be used together with condoms, as they are coated with only small amounts of silicone oil.

This is highly unlikely. However, in rare cases, your partner may feel the rim of the diaphragm.

No earlier than 6 weeks after giving birth, you should go and see your doctor or family planning clinic to check that it still fits correctly. Ask if you need a different size or if
you can continue to use the Singa®️ diaphragm you have been using.

In rare cases, negative pressure can make the Singa®️ diaphragm very tight. When
removing it, try adopting a different position (e.g. assume a squatting position), bear down and hook a finger over the rim of the diaphragm. If you are still unable to remove the diaphragm, ask your doctor.
