How Does Caya Work?

Caya is barrier contraceptive. This soft, flexible diaphragm has a contoured design created specifically for the female anatomy. It prevents pregnancy by covering the cervix to block sperm from reaching the uterus.

Your Questions Answered

Yes. The United States FDA requires that patients have a prescription for the diaphragm. Your healthcare provider can dispense Caya to you at your appointment, or provide you with a prescription for you to fulfill. See our Get Caya page for prescription fulfillment options. Or you can get a prescription via a telehealth appointment.
Any contraceptive gel that is WATER-BASED will work, such as VCF Gel. If you’re having trouble getting the gel please contact our team.
Two years from the first use. After 2 years, the nylon ring inside Caya loses its “bounce back,” which can make it less effective. We recommend you write the date of first-use on the box, or put a note in your calendar to order a new one earlier than 2 years from the first-use date. Any Caya diaphragm older than 2 years, no matter how often it was used, should be discarded.
