The cervical cap is made of soft rubber. Like the diaphragm, it must be prescribed and fitted by a physician. Spermicide is placed in the base of the cap before insertion. Once inserted, a woman is protected from pregnancy for 48 hours. It should be removed by 48 hours in order to avoid the risk of toxic shock syndrome.
