After 30 minutes, check again to make sure the suction is good, and no space between the rim and neck. When the capsule is in place, you can have safe sex for 48 hours, no matter how you have sex in that time. Unlike the diaphragm, you do not need to put more spermicide if you want to keep more sex. Anyway, the first two months of starting use positioning should ensure spermicide gel outside the capsule, as if there are changes of position or relationship.
