"The cervical cap, used even in antiquity, has been modified and improved so that it now promises to be an effective, safe, and convenient method of fertility control. Gynecologist U. Freese and dentist R. Goepp, working at The University of Chicago, have combined the techniques of their 2 disciplines to provide this improved form of the cervical cap. Using dental techniques, a method has been established for fitting the cervical cap exactly to the individual cervix. Such a method allows for longterm use of the device without appreciable dislodgment and odor. The method is comfortable and permits sexual spontaneity. No chemical spermicides are necessary. A 1-way valve in the cap allows the menstrual flow to be released each month without removal of the device. Minimal time and cost are required for the initial fitting. Most women will be able to remove and replace their own caps."
