    The three principle methods of Birth Control are by the use of male appliances, female appliances and chemical contraceptives. Those in common use are listed herein. Clients interested in other methods, not mentioned, are invited to submit their queries, in confidence, to us. MALE APPLIANCES The best known is the sheath, often styled condom, French letter, envelope, shield, etc. ‘This is made with either a plain or teat end, and is usually manufactured from medicated rubber. Being highly elastic, it is made in the one standard size. ‘The sheath constitutes one of the safest contraceptive methods known. A stouter sheath—called the Hygisan Washable Sheath— is also obtainable. It is of thicker texture, and is made in three sizes—small, medium and large. They are either of the sheet rubber type or the moulded variety, and have a receptacle end, less pronounced than that of the non- washable sheath. Short sheaths or “‘tips,”? sometimes called Malthus Caps, which only cover the glans penis, are also obtainable, in both washable and non-washable types. FEMALE APPLIANCES The Occlusive Cap (Check Pessary) is the most popular and is medically recommended. It is a rubber dome-shaped cap, with a solid or pneumatic rim, and is supplied in three sizes—small, medium and large. Most women need a medium size. It fits over the end of the womb. 1
