can stand with one foot on a chair,
sit on the edge of a chair, lie down,
or squat.

16. 4. Separate the lips of your vulva with
one hand. Pinch the rim of the
diaphragm to fold it in half with the
other hand.

center of the fold for a firmer grip.

fold.

two years. Taking care of the diaphragm is simple.
– After you remove the diaphragm, wash it with mild soap
and warm water.
– Allow it to air dry.
– Do not use any powders on the diaphragm — they can
cause infections.
– Do not use oil-based lubricants — such as Vaseline or
cold cream — with your diaphragm. They can damage
silicone.

20.  Be sure to examine the diaphragm regularly.
◊ You can look for small holes or weak spots by holding it up
to the light.
◊ If there is a hole or weak spot, light will shine through the
diaphragm.
◊ You can also fill the cup of the diaphragm with water and
look for leaks.
 Diaphragms can still be used if the silicone becomes
discolored. But if the silicone develops cracks or holes it has
become too thin.
 Stop using your diaphragm if you find that it has holes, weak
spots, cracks, or wrinkles.
