A diaphragm is a barrier contraceptive. It sits across the top of the vagina and acts as a barrier to sperm entering the uterus. This box once contained a ‘Clinocap’ diaphragm. A Clinocap was made from rubber with a spring in the rim. The diaphragms were made by BCM, supplied by the Mother’s Clinic, and modified by Dr Marie Stopes (1880-1958). Stopes founded the Society for Constructive Birth Control. She opened the first of her birth control clinics in Holloway, North London in 1921. She is best remembered as a feminist and a birth control pioneer.
