“Been on the pill for almost 6 years. No babies! No
pregnancies! No money down! DEALS DEALS DEALS”
Raising a child can take effort and it can end up being costly. If you’re
not ready for that kind of responsibility, the pill can be a great birth
control choice. Plus, it helps treat acne and period cramps! #nocramps

“I just got an IUD today from Planned Parenthood. The
insertion was a bit uncomfortable, but not too bad, and
now 8 hours later I’m just having occasional period-like
cramps. I’m looking forward to seeing my boyfriend so
we can test it out!”
Points for honesty! The IUD can be a bit uncomfortable when you first get
it, but it gets better. #bestbirthcontrol #lighterperiods #satisfied

“I always use condoms and I’ve never gotten a girl
pregnant.”

Alright alright alright! Remember, in addition to not getting anyone
pregnant, you’re also protecting yourself and your partner from any STDs.
So keep up this safe practice! #condoms4life #condomsense

Shout-out to these real and honest stories!
Remember, follow your birth control instructions
carefully to avoid any UH-OH moments, and always
use a condom to protect yourself from any STDs.
Enjoy life, but do it safely!
