The diaphragm stays in for 8 hours after intercourse; the FemCap can stay for 48 hours. Diaphragms and cervical caps are washable and reusable. Female condoms can be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse to avoid interrupting sexual activity. Male condoms can be made of latex, polyurethane or natural membranes. Male latex condoms when used correctly are an effective means of contraceptive and very effective at preventing transmission of STIs.
