Hey girl, tired of hormonal birth control being in your body 24/7? Same. If you’re done with hormone side effects or just want contraception on your own terms, let’s talk about something that might be perfect for you.
Enter the Caya® contoured diaphragm: birth control you control, exactly when you need it. No daily pills, no hormones, just you in control. Let’s dive into what makes this 100% hormone-free option worth considering in 2025.
What Is Caya Diaphragm Birth Control?

Caya is a soft, flexible, contoured diaphragm that covers your cervix (the opening to your uterus) to prevent sperm from reaching an egg. Think of it as your personal bodyguard against unwanted pregnancy.
Its unique contoured shape was thoughtfully created with input from women just like you. Used in 40 countries and all 50 states for over 10 years, the Caya diaphragm has proven itself worldwide. The best part? It fits 97.6% of women without needing a fitting appointment—one size actually does fit most!
When properly positioned, Caya creates a physical barrier that works with a water-based contraceptive gel for double protection:
- The physical barrier blocks sperm from entering your cervix
- The contraceptive gel immobilizes any sperm that might try to sneak around the edges
The clever design includes grip dimples for easy handling, a removal dome to make taking it out a breeze, and a flexible edge that stays comfortably in place.
How Effective Is Caya Birth Control?
Let’s talk numbers (because we all want to know how well it works):
- With optimal use and contraceptive gel, Caya has just a 5% pregnancy rate over 12 months
- With typical use and contraceptive gel, it has a 17% pregnancy rate over 12 months
- The more consistently you use it (and pair it with contraceptive gel), the more protection you get
Here’s the real talk: No contraceptive method guarantees 100% safety from unwanted pregnancy (except maybe never having sex, but where’s the fun in that?). You might want to compare contraception effectiveness rates to learn what’s best for you. Like any method, the key is using it correctly every time. And remember, while Caya helps prevent pregnancy, it doesn’t protect against STIs. If that’s a concern, consider using condoms too.

Birth Control You Control
Unlike pills you take daily or an IUD that stays in for years, Caya is only used when YOU need it, at the moment YOU need it. It’s birth control in YOUR control:
- Use it only when you’re having sex (insert up to 2 hours before)
- No remembering daily pills
- No long-term commitment
- No hormones messing with your body 24/7
85% of women find Caya easy to use, and 34% of women report feeling more relaxed during sex when using it.
Economical Choice
Let’s talk money. Caya is surprisingly affordable when you break it down:
- One Caya diaphragm lasts up to 2 years
- No monthly prescription costs
- No procedures for insertion or removal
- Costs less per use than many other methods
Plus, it comes in a discrete, easy-to-carry case that fits in your purse. Birth control that travels with you? Yes please.
Immediate Return to Fertility
When or if you’re ready to get pregnant again, you’re just… done with Caya. No waiting for hormones to clear your system, no appointments to have devices removed. Simply stop using your diaphragm and your fertility returns immediately.
Who Is Caya Perfect For?
While Caya can be used by most women, it’s particularly perfect for you if you’re:
- Breastfeeding and want to protect your milk supply
- Undergoing cancer treatment
- At risk of thrombosis
- Six weeks post-pregnancy
- Not looking to control your menstrual cycles
- Suffering from latex allergies
- Interested in natural family planning
- Done with birth control side effects
- Looking for woman-controlled contraception
Caya is designed for women who want birth control that adapts to their lifestyle, not the other way around. It’s for the woman who wants contraception on her terms, when she needs it.
Birth Control Your Way
Choosing birth control is super personal – your body, your choice.
Caya offers something different: contraception that works with your lifestyle, not against it. It might be perfect for you if you’re tired of hormonal side effects, want protection only when you need it, and prefer to be in control of your birth control.
