cervical cap

Silicone barrier method

A cervical cap is a small, thimble-shaped contraceptive device made of silicone or latex that fits snugly over the cervix to block sperm from entering the uterus.

It's used with spermicide and inserted before intercourse: She preferred the cervical cap to hormonal birth control.

Unlike a diaphragm, which covers the cervix and vaginal walls, the cap adheres directly to the cervix by suction.
