Taking Care of your diaphragm

After you take the diaphragm out of your vagina, wash it with water and mild soap, rinse it and allow it to air dry. Please keep yourdiaphragm in its container. Keep the container in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.

Check your diaphragm often holes, cracks or leaks. To do this, fillthe dome with water and look for tiny leaks.

Replace your diaphragm after 1 to 2 years. Every year, shouldcheck your doctor if your diaphragm is still sitting right. They must be measured again when you have a baby, have pelvic surgery orwin or lose more than 15 pounds.
