Key Advantages

How Does Caya Work?

Caya is barrier contraception. It’s a soft, flexible, contoured diaphragm that covers your cervix so sperm can’t get in and fertilize an egg.

In studies, 85% of consumers found Caya easy to use. More than 95% found it comfortable for both partners.

In a number of states, Caya can be prescribed via a teleheath appointment. If your state does not allow it, or you’re not sure, we also offer a telehealth provider right here. Just visit our GetCaya page.

Your Questions Answered

Yes. The United States FDA requires that patients have a prescription for the diaphragm. Your healthcare provider can dispense Caya to you at your appointment, or provide you with a prescription for you to fulfill. See our Get Caya page for prescription fulfillment options. Or you can get a prescription via a telehealth appointment.
Any contraceptive gel that is WATER-BASED will work, such as VCF Gel. If you’re having trouble getting the gel please contact our team.
Two years from the first use. After 2 years, the nylon ring inside Caya loses its “bounce back,” which can make it less effective. We recommend you write the date of first-use on the box, or put a note in your calendar to order a new one earlier than 2 years from the first-use date. Any Caya diaphragm older than 2 years, no matter how often it was used, should be discarded.
