this thing is MADE for forgetful people like myself!!!

I've been using the withdrawal method for over 8 months straight.
and no pregnancy.

so I dont think it's as risky as it's made out to be.

...like most other methods, efficacy depends a lot on use. In perfect use, withdrawal is 96% effective. That's a lower perfect use rate than many other methods, however 4% is still a very low risk. So, if you and your partner (withdrawal is the only method where it's really all about what the male partner does, which is why it's not a great method for many women who want full or at least partial control over their own pregnancy prevention) keep on using it perfectly, and for sure, it can offer you some very good protection.

It's perhaps also worth noting that efficacy stats for every method are based on one full year of use.

Love it. I'm a forgetful person, too, and not having to remind myself everyday for a pill is great! I still use condoms on top of the shot, however. I ain't wantin' no babies, ya know?

Condoms for safety, the pill just in case! Switching to the ring for various reasons, but will continue to use condoms all the time!
