FemCap effectiveness for mothers?

Hi again,


I've heard that cervical caps are less effective than diaphragms for women who have given birth vaginally. But when I went on the FemCap website, they seemed to indicate that the effectiveness rate is very high for FemCap (maybe higher than with other caps?) and I didn't see any mention of differences with the effectiveness rate between those who have given birth and those who haven't.


So, seeing as I have two kids (the first by C-section, the second vaginally), would the FemCap be as effective for me as a diaphragm?
