The Positives of Cervical Cap

The cervical cap offers a 92 to 96% level of effectiveness and also offers some protection against certain sexually transmitted diseases. In addition to this, it can provide some protection against forms of cervical cancer. Because the method uses no hormones, there is no increased risk of cancer or any disruption to the menstrual cycle. It also offers a low cost and relatively long term solution to contraception, with each cap needing replacement every three years or so. Furthermore, with practice, the cap is easily fitted and removed for sexual activity and can be fitted up to three hours before sex, thus removing any risk to the disruption of the sexual experience.
