A few described past negative experiences on disclosure of use, fear of the doctor's response and the belief they would not be interested.
Importantly, it should also be noted that in this study, the products evaluated were coitally-dependent which may have necessitated more dialogue and disclosure of use with the male partner.
At Exit, consistent disclosure of use (AOR 1.97, 95% CI: 1.10 3.55); an overall high diaphragm rating (AOR 1.84, 95% CI: 1.45 2.34) and perception of partner approval (AOR 1.75, 95% CI: 1.35 2.26) were the most significant acceptability factors independently associated with consistent use.
