There are A LOT of birth control options out there.

Choosing one all just depends on your preferences. To narrow down on a method, you can look into factors such as the effect it may have on your period, hormones vs no hormones, how it’s applied to your body, maintenance, or how and where to get it.

Luckily, if you try one out and end up deciding it’s not working for you, you can switch and try a different one!

Check out our brochures about each method. You can also compare all the different types of methods at Bedsider and learn about others’ experiences with the methods.
