Diaphragm Gel

I bought the Caya gel and diaphragm from a different seller about 2 years ago but I have started buying the Caya gel via Amazon. I am so glad I found these products as I hated taking the pill which was effectively pumping artificially lab generated hormones into my body for 10 years. I wanted a break as the pill did not do me any good in terms of my libido. The gel smells really nice (vanilla fragrance) and it does not normally sting save for one occasion I accidentally scratched myself (I forgot to trim my own nails) when inserting the diaphragm and the gel stung quite a bit. I only got myself to blame for that incident. So, girls, please be careful not to injure yourself as the gel may sting your wounds. If you have a particularly sensitive skin, just do a trial run by using it with the diaphragm (and not you are not about to have sex) to see if you feel comfortable at all. You will need to practice inserting the diaphragm when you first buy it anyway to ensure that you insert it correctly without it popping out or folding. I read somewhere that an acidic pH is good for the vagina flora anyway and as this gel is slightly acidic, it really should not be harmful to the vagina. It would be helpful if Caya made various gel tube sizes for sale as I am an infrequent user, it expires long before I finish a tube and I think that is a bit of a waste to just toss the leftover. But, sadly, it has to be done to ensure that it is used within the expiry date to ensure it remains effective.

I cannot stop raving about the Caya diaphragm and gel! I am a bit of a hippie and do not like taking hormones (I was on the pill for years and it doesn't really agree with me). My friend from Germany suggested the Caya diaphragm to me as apparently it is more popular over there. I went to my sexual health doctor and she fitted it for me, but I have heard that one size fits pretty much all women. It is really easy to insert and you literally just check your cervix is fully covered and the lip is tucked under the pubic bone. - There is an instructional video on the Caya website. I put the gel inside the diaphragm, and also put some on the back (just to be super safe, as this is what the sperm meets first). I use this alongside NFP, so I take my waking morning temperature, and check my cervical fluid every day, so I work out when I am fertile and when I am not. I use the Caya diaphragm with Caya gel when I am fertile, and have unprotected sex when I am certain I have already ovulated, and it works, I am not pregnant, and neither is my friend in Germany who has been using this method for 3 years! (I would highly recommend reading a good guide on NFP before trying because you really need to understand the rules for it to be reliable - otherwise use the Caya Diaphragm with Caya gel every time you have sex). I love how the gel isn't full of irritant chemicals like the NHS Nonoxynol-9, but has been shown in studies to be just as effective. It works by lowering the pH of the vagina to a level that stops sperm from fertilising the egg. However, it is a safe pH for the vagina and therefore doesn't cause problems. The only thing I would say is to make sure you watch the Caya video first as it explains that you need to insert it 2 hours or less before sex, and leave the diaphragm in for at least 6 hours (I always do 8+), before removing it to make sure that the sperm is dead/ deactivated. And if you want to have sex more than once, you just add more gel into the vagina with the applicator. It takes only seconds to insert and remove. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Excellent product in place of the nhs one that is no longer obtainable

I wish it came with the applicator

On a serious note, yes, I'm not pregnant and my body seems to tolerate the gel without any issues, so in combination with the Caya diaphragm, works a charm. At least for someone such as myself who tracks her cycle and is not continuously sexually active. I only wish it lasted a bit longer, it always expires before I use it up.

I have bought this on many occasions buy on the last 2 occasions it has arrived without the applicators, not very pleased about this.

Works well, easy to apply to caya. You are meant to use this in addition to the caya diaphragm. Have been using for years and haven't fell pregnant yet. Good alternative to the pill.

Use by March 2024, bought in January. Dont think I'll manage to get through a big tube in this time so most of it will probably be wasted. Not good.

Ich bin äußerst zufrieden mit dem Caya Gel Espermicida von KESSEL medintim. Als langjährige Diaphragma-Anwenderin hat meine Frau schon einige Gele ausprobiert, aber dieses sticht wirklich heraus. Hier sind die Gründe, warum wir es so schätzen: 1. Effektivität: Das Gel erfüllt seinen Zweck hervorragend. In Kombination mit dem Diaphragma fühlt es sich sicher und geschützt. Die spermizide Wirkung gibt zusätzliche Sicherheit. 2. Hautverträglichkeit: Besonders beeindruckt ist meine Frau von der Hautfreundlichkeit. Sie hat empfindliche Haut und hatte mit anderen Produkten oft Irritationen. Mit dem Caya Gel hat sie keinerlei Probleme - keine Reizungen, kein Jucken, kein Brennen. 3. Konsistenz: Die Konsistenz ist perfekt. Das Gel lässt sich leicht auftragen, ist nicht zu flüssig und nicht zu dickflüssig. Es verteilt sich gut und bleibt dort, wo es sein soll. 4. Geruch und Geschmack: Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist der neutrale Geruch. Manche Gele haben einen unangenehmen chemischen Geruch, aber dieses hier ist wirklich geruchsneutral. Auch geschmacklich ist es unauffällig, was für die Intimität sehr angenehm ist. 5. Ergiebigkeit: Die 60g-Tube ist sehr ergiebig. Man braucht nur eine kleine Menge pro Anwendung, sodass die Tube lange hält. Das macht es auch zu einem wirtschaftlichen Produkt. 6. Einfache Anwendung: Die Tube lässt sich gut handhaben und dosieren. Die Anwendung ist unkompliziert und sauber. 7. Qualität und Verträglichkeit: Man merkt, dass es sich um ein Qualitätsprodukt handelt. Die Inhaltsstoffe sind gut verträglich, und wir haben volles Vertrauen in die Marke KESSEL medintim. Fazit: Das Caya Gel ist für mich das ideale Begleitprodukt zu einem Diaphragma. Es bietet Sicherheit, ist hautfreundlich und angenehm in der Anwendung. Ich kann es allen Diaphragma-Nutzerinnen wärmstens empfehlen. Es ist ein zuverlässiges Produkt, das die Verhütung mit dem Diaphragma noch angenehmer und sicherer macht. Definitiv fünf Sterne von mir!

Sur un an voir deux d'utilisation le produit a toujours été d'une efficacité irréprochable. Vers la fin j'ai rencontré quelque soucis mais je ne pourrais pas identifier la source du coup je n'enlève pas d'étoiles. Si vous souhaitez renforcer son efficacité, car rappelons le ce n'est pas un spermicide mais juste une barrière, l'huile de neem reconnu pour être un spermicide naturel peut vous aidez à compléter le gel.

Ormai è da un po’ che uso il diaframma associato al gel (e al metodo di togliere al momento perché sono un po’ paranoica!) e mi piace molto! Esalto che sono con il mio partner da ormai 6 anni e questo metodo contracettivo non va usato da solo e non previene contro malattie!! Fate un uso consapevole!

Muy bien, lo uso con el diafragma caya y va muy bien. El envío correcto.

Rápido y efectivo
