Testing for Placement. After diaphragm has
been placed in the inner-most position, then re-
insert the index and second fingers, passing them
inward and downward underneath diaphragm as
far as the fingers will reach. There the finger tips
should be able to feel the firm knob of the cervix
through the rubber. This test insures correct
position.
The bottom of the dome will probably be found
wrinkled from the suction inside, which was created
during the placement of the diaphragm, but the
firm knob of the cervix will be felt in the upper part
of the dome.
Always make test of placement after final inser-
tion and you will then be assured of positive
dependability.
