It has been reported that Cassanova cut lemons and limes in half to use as a cervical cap. The citric acid was believed to be a spermicide. Since the early 1900s, the cervical cap has been made from latex rubber. The device is thimble-shaped and made of latex rubber and has a firm rim when compared to the diaphragm. It fits snugly over the cervix and is held in place by suction and support of the vaginal wall.
Cervical caps are smaller and fit more tightly to the cervix than does a diaphragm.
Cervical caps can remain in place for up to 2 days without additional applications of spermicide, though some experts believe there is a small risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. The cap remain in place for 8 hours after intercourse. Your doctor must prescribe it. More information on this method is available from the manufacturer .
