With the Singa® diaphragm, women use contraception safely, hormone-free and naturally, without unwanted side effects.

Unlike the Caya® diaphragm, the Singa® is traditionally round and available in 7 different sizes - the right size for the user must be determined and adjusted in advance by medical professionals.

The Singa® is inserted into the vagina before sexual intercourse. It completely covers the cervix and prevents sperm from entering the uterus. After intercourse, the Singa® diaphragm must remain in the vagina for at least 6 hours.

We recommend always using the Singa® diaphragm in combination with the contraceptive Caya® gel.

Women for whom the Caya® diaphragm does not fit or who require a firmer spring tension can use contraception safely and naturally with the Singa® diaphragm.

Indications

The Singa® diaphragm is particularly suitable for women:
• For whom the Caya® does not fit or who need a firmer spring tension.
• Who want or need hormone-free contraception (e.g. in case of increased risk of thrombosis).
• Who do not want to or are not allowed to use an IUD.
• During the breastfeeding period.
• Who only want to use contraception when having sex.
• After childbirth / between two pregnancies.
• Who have a latex allergy.
• In combination with natural methods of family planning (e.g. symptothermal method).

Contraindications

The Singa® diaphragm must not be used:
• Within the first 6 weeks after childbirth.
• In case of severe lowering of the pelvic floor/lowering of the uterus.
• If the pubic recess (notch) is too small or non-existent.
• Too weak or non-existent tone of the pelvic floor muscle.

Patients wanting to use the Singa diaphragm need to be fitted for it with a healthcare professional. To assist, we have a fitting set available.
