Diaphragm

The irritation could actually be from an allergy or sensitivity to spermicide. If the irritation is mild, you might try another type of spermicide.

People usually don’t feel the diaphragm inside of them when it’s inserted correctly.

Most people with a penis are not able to feel the diaphragm during sex, but it’s possible.

Some people do get urinary tract infections (UTIs) from using the diaphragm. It might help if you pee before inserting the diaphragm and after you have sex. You might also check with your health care provider to make sure your diaphragm fits correctly (depending on the brand there are a few sizes).
