FemCap is a barrier method of birth control. It is a circular dome made of plastic, that comes in different sizes. It is inserted into the vagina before sex and you need to use it with a gel that kills sperm called spermicide. It's a bit tricky to get the hang of, but some women love it due to the control and lack of hormones.
