    Birth Control - Period Control?

    August 3rd 2008 04:49
    birth control


    Don't tell certain guys this, but birth control might not only be about stopping babies. It might, dare I say it, have something to do with hormones and certain female bodily functions.


    I know I kid, but I can't help it. What kind of a feminist would I be if I didn't share the goodness that is Sarah Haskins. This time she takes on those bizarre birth control ads that play up the reasons other than preventing pregnancy that you might want to take your daily pill. Enjoy!

    That was brilliant!

    I'm going to go try synchronised swimming using the once monthly vaginal ring as a flotation device...what you mean it doesn't look like a lifesaver?

    Personally, if I had the period problems I had when I was in middle school I would certainly try those kinds of birth control, not that I need it for pregnancy prevention.

    Luckily my cycle isn't as detrimental as it used to be. Plus I've tried the Depo shot and it turned me into a blubbering, freaky, depressed maniac. So I stick to more physical methods of birth control such as a condom or abstinance. Eww abstinance. Such a nasty word. HAHA
