I've tried my Omniflex Wide Seal a few times now.

I know it's been a while so you all probably forgot that I was going to review my other diaphragm. But I didn't forget! So there's your fair warning! 😂 Read at your own risk.

I gotta say... I'm not a huge fan of my Omniflex. 😞  Just wearing it around (to get used to it or for the 6 hours after getting laid) - yeah - that's fine. But introduce a penis into the equation and that's just like, weird.

The thing is it's silicone and sometimes there's a wrinkle in it when it's inserted. I read that that is normal and can be caused by a full bladder or bowel, or changes during menstruation, or just - you know, whatever. It's not super unusual and it's not unsafe to use as long as the diaphragm is open and covering your cervix.

But when there's a wrinkle in there and a penis pushing that wrinkle it kind of pops the wrinkle inverted, which then pops back out because of the pressure. It's not painful, but it's distracting as hell. 😒😂

The thing is - the diaphragm rules are this: You put in the diaphragm, you put in the penis, you remove the penis, you do NOT remove the diaphragm for 6 hours - NO MATTER WHAT. I guess that's to account for any stray little swimmers that might be floating around in there. So there was no trying it out with the Omniflex and then switching to the Caya. We just powered through it. It would have been a waste of good spermicide to switch, anyway. 😂

So we both could feel this diaphragm and it was weird and I think I'm just gonna save the Omniflex as my back-up since it lasts forever anyway and it's harder to get out than the Caya.  On a sort-of related note:  I'm wearing the Omniflex right now because yep - I got lucky this morning. AND I'm on my period! So the Omniflex is doing double-duty as a menstrual cup.

More on that: I started my period Thursday so that was really exciting. I had felt a little back-achey, but not like normal PMS back-ache pain. So I really wasn't expecting it, but thank goodness I had some pads with me. Since I had kind of missed it and wanted to make sure this was a normal period (because it's been 6 years - what?!) I've been wearing pads for the last few days, but my butt was starting to feel like it needed a breather so wearing my diaphragm for part of this day is a welcome respite. Keeps blood in, sperm out. What's not to love?

Anyway, I guess I'm still holding firm that the Caya Diaphragm is awesome. There is another one (just plain round, but a different make / brand) that I can order from the UK and I might when I get up some extra money just to try it out. If I do I'll let you know how that goes. 😁 Otherwise I think this about wraps up the posts I can do on diaphragms right now. If anyone has questions feel free to ask me anytime. I am pretty much an open book.
