Hows that work? Would I like bump into it? Does it mean i only can go in an inch or two?
Forgive my ignorance - I have no experience with those!

1 - here's a link with a picture and lots of info -

2 - yeah, diaphragms look like a suction cup, caps look like a big rubber thimble. fits snugly over the cervix. you wouldn't notise it during sex, but you would be able to feel it with a finger. just soft and rubbery, nothing 'odd' about it at all. doesn't get in the way or interfere with anything.
afaik, some wome's cervixes are better shaped/suited for caps, in order to get a good suction.
for your wife's part, insertion is easy - just as with a diaphragm, you put a bit of spermacidal gel inside the cap, and kinda squeese it together and insert. it has a nice way of almost automatically finding the cervix and attatching onto it. removal is a bit trickier, but not too difficult. one just must be able to reach in with finger far enough to 'break' the suction-seal, and then pull it out. works best when squatting, i would always take it out while in the shower.
look into it, have her talk to her gyno about it, but it seems like it would be a good thing, at very least to use during more 'fertile' times or so.
hope this helps
