8. Removal

The woman should feel for the removal dome at the front end of the Caya® diaphragm. Using her finger she will hook the diaphragm rim through the removal dome. The dome can be used either by the underside or by slipping the finger over the spring and pushing down on the removal dome.

Once she has her finger in the removal dome, she pulls down and out to remove the diaphragm.

If she has difficulty removing the diaphragm, encourage her to try a different position (e.g., squatting or one foot on a stool positions open the pelvis and bring the cervix closer to the introitus).
