Itâs confusing, thats why its important to know which methods are suitable and reliable.Â
BIRTH CONTROL METHODSÂ
Â
1. Condoms: The Old Gee ProtectorÂ
Condoms are like your reliable friend who always has your back. They stop both pregnancy and infections. Dual protection = best life hack ever. Youâre in the heat of the moment and your partner whispers, âDonât worry, Iâll pull out.â Pull-out? That's how Priscilla ended up with a baby!đł That trick fails more times than a faulty Wi-Fi connection.
Advantages: Cheap, easy, protects from pregnancy and STIs.
Disadvantages: Some complain about âless feeling,â but honestly, better less feeling than diapers you didn't want to buy.
Tip: Always carry a spare. You never know when life will get⌠spontaneous. Benedicta carry extra we know you love it.đĽą
2. Pills: The Daily Hustle đŻ
Â
Pills stop ovulation. No egg = no pregnancy. Sounds simple, but only if you actually take them every day. Week one, youâre super consistent. Week two, oops, one day missed. Week three, another missed. Suddenly youâre panicking, googling, âCan I skip my pill twice?â Donât be that person, stay on your pills if you can't take extra bills.
Advantages: Works if taken daily. Can also reduce period pain and even help with acne.
