How to Use the Diaphragm Inserter + Remover

1. Two sides of the rod

• Side 1: insertion side
• Side 2: curved hook side for removal
  
  

   2.  Folding and positioning

• Hold the diaphragm by the grip dimples so it folds. 
• Stretch it over the insertion side and secure it in the notch.
  
  

   3.  Apply gel

• Apply approximately 4 ml of diaphragm gel to the folded diaphragm.
  
  

   4.  Insertion

• Insert the rod with the diaphragm deep into the posterior vaginal fornix. 
• When correctly placed, the diaphragm will no longer be visible from the outside.
  
  

   5.  Release

• Turn the rod slightly so the diaphragm detaches, then withdraw the rod.
  
  

   6.  Check the position

        Ensure the diaphragm:

• covers the cervix
• sits securely behind the pubic bone 

   7.  Removal

• Use the curved hook side to catch the front edge of the diaphragm and gently pull it out.
  
  

   8.  Cleaning
