Nicole, 20, the ring
I never thought I'd find a birth control for me.
Nicole tried a bunch of different birth control methods—and almost gave up more than once—before finding the right fit with the ring.
She was nervous at first, afraid that “things could get lost in there.” But she gave it a go, and now finds it easy to use and knows a ring won’t go where it shouldn’t.
Nicole uses an alarm on her phone and a paper calendar to remember to insert and remove each ring.
