We have had a few women take us up on this form of barrier method. It's easier and less uncomfortable than the diaphragm. The biggest barrier (no pun intended) is to get women to accept how bulky it looks. We call it the "Starship Enterprise" (take a look from the side :-). But women have reported that once it is in, they don't feel it (the silicon tends to soften w/ body heat) nor do their partners. ***************************** Kathi Wilson, BHSc, RM Thames Valley Midwives -- 346 Platts Lane, London, Ontario, Canada http://tvm.on.ca mailto:wilsonk@gtn.on.ca

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
