DH and I are over the moon, still. The day was great (if hot and sweaty) and we loved it! Main question: I stumbled onto FemCap online and it looked GREAT according to their site! But I’d like some actual, real-life reviews. Have any of you ladies tried it? Does anyone have any glowing recommendations for other great cervical caps or diaphragms?
Background: Before we got married, we were both virgins, so it’s been a lot of learning for us. For a host of reasons, DH and I will only be using barrier methods. So condoms, spermicide, etc, but no pills, IUDs, implants, etc. We also really want to avoid having to abstain when I’m ovulating, though we’re good about watching to see when sex is riskier according to my calendar and making sure we use birth control methods religiously during that time.
We have been using VCF spermicide foam and we like it for the most part. However, it isn’t super effective by itself, and our plan of using male condoms alongside it when I’m more at risk of pregnancy isn’t working too well. We got some good, ultra thin condoms but it still really takes him out of the mood because he can’t feel as much, and it just makes sex really unnecessarily frustrating. Whenever we try it with VCF and a condom, we end up ditching the condom because it just ruins the whole experience so much. But since we don’t want kids yet, we’re trying to look at other options. I’m really curious to see if anyone recommends any caps or diaphragms highly, as that’s something I’m very interested in trying.
Thanks in advance! Sorry this is a long one. 😐
