The cervical cap is a barrier method of contraception with the device inserted into the vagina.
It has a thimble shape and fits snugly over the cervix; suction is used to keep the cap in place, like the Prentif or by surface viscosity like the Oves pictured at right. The inside of the cap may be filled with a spermicide to combat sperm which get past the cap. There are caps in different styles and sizes. They are made of latex or medical silicone.
Initially a health care provider should find the right size for the user. The cap is inserted prior to sexual intercourse and should remain in the vagina for six to eight hours.
