If a douche is desired for cleanliness, use before
removal of diaphragm, or partly before and partly
after removal. Do not use any strong caustic or
alkaline solution in the douche water, as many
douche solutions cause irritation of the delicate
tissues. And such strong solutions will also deterio-
rate the fine rubber of the diaphragm.
Lanteen Yellow is recommended for its soothing
effect on the delicate membranes; it leaves a pleas-
ant feeling of comfort and cleanliness. It is probably
the most highly regarded by American women of
all douche preparations. Highly economical to use,
and maintains the maximum life of the rubber
diaphragm. This formula is available in two forms,
as Lanteen Yellow Solution and as Lanteen Yellow
Powder.
After removal, the diaphragm should be washed in
plain water, without soap; the antiseptic jelly pro-
vides complete sterilization, and acts as soap for
cleansing, while maintaining the strength and
velvety softness of the rubber.

Remember:—
ONLY THREE THINGS TO DO TO
SECURE POSITIVE PROTECTION
A. Always place the diaphragm before exposure.
B. After each insertion of the diaphragm make the
test for proper placement, as illustrated in
directions.
C. Always use the antiseptic jelly with the dia-
phragm; this gives the double protection that
insures positive reliability.
