Alyssa, 20, the shot
Alyssa used to take the pill , but got tired of remembering to take it every day. So she decided to try the shot when her doctor recommended it—and hasn’t looked looked back since. She also won’t look when she’s getting the shot, because she hates needles. With a passion. But Alyssa finds taking birth […]
Kimberly, 29, IUD
There’s a lot Kimberly likes about her Paragard IUD : it’s non-hormonal, lasts 10 years, and is over 99% effective. And now that she’s unemployed and uninsured, this mom likes that she paid for it up front and doesn’t have to find money each month for birth control. So what about those pesky cramps she […]

Alesondrje likes to use the sponge along with […]
Anastasia, 21, internal condom
The first time Anastasia used an internal condom , she and her boyfriend were on the beach, under the stars. (Sigh.) She had been given some samples at a clinic just a few days before and decided this was the time to try them out. Anastasia had to open a few packs before figuring out […]
Ramiyah, 23, condom
For Ramiyah, it’s all very logical: Sex is fun. Sex can lead to pregnancy. If you want to have sex and don’t want to have a pregnancy, birth control always needs to be part of the equation. Ramiyah prefers to use condoms as her method of birth control.What if the guy doesn’t have one? Not […]
