| | Is the Diaphragm a Viable Option for Women in Turkey? |
 | | While the efficacy of using the diaphragm without spermicide is still unclear, there is some evidence that it may be as effective as use with a spermicide. | | | Methods: Diaphragms were offered to women as a contraceptive option during counseling sessions at four family planning clinic sites in western Turkey: two public-sector clinics (one in Çapa, Istanbul, the other in Izmir) and two private-sector clinics (one in Incirli, Istanbul, the other in Denizli). | | | Therefore, the majority of clients heard about the diaphragm for the first time in the clinic. |

| | Diaphragms may be inserted with spermicide up to 6 hours before sex so their use does not have to interrupt love-making. | | | There are practically no side effects from the use of the diaphragm and spermicide. | | | The diaphragm and spermicide must be inserted BEFORE any genital contact. |

| | Contraceptive device and related method - Patent 4696294 |
| | A principle purpose of the contraceptive device is to make more natural the "feel" of the coitus to the male participant. | | | The enhanced stimulation eliminates the objection that most coital couples have to the feel of a diaphragm and would encourage more couples to accept the diaphragm as a contraceptive method. | | | The well known medical text in Gray's Anatomy states that the inner surface of the vagina is characterized by two longitudinal ridges, one on its anterior and one on its posterior wall. |

| | A New Look at an Old Method: The Diaphragm |
| | Although the studies focused on using a diaphragm to prevent pregnancy, the fact that the diaphragm is a safe alternative to other methods and is user-controlled bodes well for its acceptance among women interested in protecting themselves from disease. | | | The traditional diaphragm is an ideal candidate for such research, and we advocate for a new look at this old method. | | | For the diaphragm to be become a widely used, acceptable method for pregnancy prevention—and, perhaps, for STD prevention—both women and providers will need to become familiar with and knowledgeable about the method. |

| | With consistent and correct use, the diaphragm is 91% effective; however, most couples will find the diaphragm to be, on average, 80% effective at preventing pregnancy. | | | Barrier methods may provide considerable protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and certain pre-cancerous conditions of the cervix; however, the diaphragm does not prevent the transmission of many other STIs, including herpes, HPV or HIV. | | | Once your doctor has fitted you, you can buy the diaphragm and spermicide at most clinics, drugstores or pharmacies. |
