“If you have a guy who refuses to use a condom, this is a great option,” she added

-Dr. Lauren Streicher, medical director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause in Chicago.

The fact that a FEMALE GYNO is spreading a misogynistic message like this makes me lose all faith in humanity.

If he refuses to wrap it, and you don’t have other contraceptive methods, you should NOT ALLOW HIM INTO YOUR BODY.

Phexxi’s side effects were minimal — mostly irritation and burning

$250 to $275 for a box of 12 without insurance

This article is full of what in the actual fuck.

"Hey Women, Buy and wear this helmet and suit of armour if your man refuses to stop assaulting you. what else could you do?" ugh so frustrating!

86% effective. Wow, what a birth control.

This is great. It’s a step in the right direction however.... $250 for a box of 12?! There’s nothing special about the ingredients. Pharmaceutical companies need to calm down.

The company said Phexxi — pronounced FECK’-see — will have a list price of $250 to $275 for a box of 12 without insurance.

Yikes.

Still putting the onus on women 🙄

cayenne8 · 2020-05-23T20:00:29+00:00

I already wrote it but heck, I feel like spreading the message again: When I said I don't want to use oral contraceptives because I fear side effects, mainly thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, so we would have to use condoms, he looked at me as if I killed his mother.

Btw the effectivity of this new method is subpar to condoms.

AutoMuchaBeach0 · 2020-05-23T18:37:23+00:00

There is non-hormonal birth control. It's called condoms

fromdusktildawnzzz · 2020-05-23T17:04:11+00:00

Copper IUD is also hormone free. But it’s cool they’re coming out with new birth control methods!

radical__daphne · 2020-05-24T00:20:35+00:00

86% effective over 7 months? Lol they didn't even measure it for a whole year which would cause the number to go down. That is so not effective enough. And 250$ for 12 uses? Wow.

Might help with sperm induced yeast infections though by maintaining vaginal pH.

Fucking hell.

sabified · 2020-05-23T20:37:59+00:00

At $20 bucks a pop?

"Yayyy".

I'm willing to bet this just had some great lobbying behind it.

easteuropeangirl · 2020-05-24T04:11:03+00:00

I don’t understand why women use hormonal control in first time, in my country guys wear condoms and don’t let girls to use hormons cause they have a lot of consequences

poirot_mustache · 2020-05-23T21:25:48+00:00

It's exorbitantly expensive and is less effective than most other MORE AFFORDABLE contraceptives on the market. SMH

wish_i_wasntavampire · 2020-05-24T07:09:25+00:00

Something like this has been available in Europe for years though, and you can get it at much cheaper.

From what I gather it's pretty effective (meaning some women are able to use it as their only form of BC), but the side effects are pretty bad (it stings and generally causes discomfort).
