Caya Diaphragm Makes Headlines in Portland: Here’s What They’re Saying

A young woman with long hair holding up a silicone Caya diaphragm that is sitting inside the opened clamshell case.

We love talking about the Caya diaphragm here on our blog, but this time, someone else did the talking. Willamette Week, a well-known publication in Portland, Oregon, recently featured Caya in an article all about rethinking birth control, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

Why This Feature Matters

Most of what you read about birth control comes from either the manufacturer or distributor (hi, that’s us) or a medical journal. It’s not every day an independent local publication takes a look at the options out there and gives their honest take. So when Willamette Week dug into hormone-free birth control and Caya’s important place in that conversation, we wanted to make sure you saw it too.

What the Article Covers

The piece walks through a question a lot of women ask themselves: how do you find birth control that fits your actual life, instead of the other way around? From there, it breaks down what makes Caya different: no hormones, no daily pill to remember, and no fitting appointment required. Caya is designed to work for most women right out of the box.

The article also gets into who tends to love Caya most. That includes women who are:

  • Tired of hormonal side effects
  • Looking for a backup option they can trust
  • Breastfeeding
  • Managing certain health conditions
  • Wanting a birth control they control

As the piece puts it, reproductive freedom is really about having the power to decide how, when, and with what method pregnancy prevention happens[1], and that idea is really at the heart of why we do what we do.
