Caya or Singa: which diaphragm is right for you?

Anchor: The Caya and Singa diaphragm models: similarities and differences

Caya and Singa are diaphragms for hormone-free contraception. Both are mechanical barrier methods of contraception– just like condoms, for example. They are inserted before sexual intercourse in combination with a diaphragm gel.

The principle of action is the same for the Caya® Contoured diaphragm and the Singa® Diaphragm: both cover the cervix and, together with the diaphragm gel, act as a barrier to prevent sperm from entering the uterus. They therefore provide protection against unwanted pregnancy.

The differences lie in the shape and sizing. The Caya® diaphragm is designed as a one-size-fits-most product and can be used without individual fitting. It is suitable for the vast majority of women, as it fits 93% of all women.

For the remaining women, the Singa® Diaphragm offers an alternative in various sizes. The correct size must be measured and fitted by a doctor or midwife before first use.

This is particularly the case with the Singa® Diaphragm

The Singa® Diaphragm follows the concept of individual sizing. It is a traditional, round diaphragm made of medical-grade silicone, available in various sizes.

The Singa® Diaphragm is available in seven sizes (60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 and 90 mm diameter). The correct size must be determined individually before first use. Size adjustment is carried out with the assistance of healthcare professionals, such as a midwife, alternative practitioner or doctor.

Thanks to the different sizes, the Singa® Diaphragm is particularly suitable for women for whom a one-size-fits-all diaphragm is not suitable, for example if a diaphragm is too large or too small. Individual sizing is carried out using a Singa® fitting kit, which is made available to practices and medical facilities.

Caya® or Singa®: which diaphragm is right for you?

The Caya® diaphragm is designed as a one-size-fits-all product and fits 93% of all women. It features an anatomically shaped design, so no individual sizing is required.

The Singa® Diaphragm is available in seven different sizes and is suitable for around 7% of women for whom a one-size-fits-all option is not suitable. It has a traditional round design and requires an individual size selection before first use.

Both models belong to the same method of contraception and differ in their product and sizing concepts. Which version is suitable depends on your individual anatomy.
