Diaphragm versus diaphragm with spermicides for contraception

open access: yesCochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2003
The diaphragm is usually used with a spermicide. However, some practitioners have suggested that spermicides offer no additional contraceptive protection and have advocated alternative guidelines for the use of diaphragms.The objective of this review was to compare the effectiveness, safety and acceptability of the diaphragm with and without spermicide.
