What is proper care for a cervical cap?
After each use the cervical cap should be washed with warm water and a mild soap. It should be air dried and stored in its case, away from obvious sources of heat and excessive light. The cervical cap should be dusted with powder or cornstarch prior to storage. Disinfectants, carbolic soaps and detergents should be avoided when caring for the cervical cap. Before each use the cervical cap should be checked for small holes or tears by holding it up to a light. The cervical cap does need to be replaced periodically after approximately one or two years or at any time that the device appears damaged.
