ICYMI it’s Thanks, Birth Control Day. It’s a day to celebrate everything birth control makes possible, from smashing career goals to…well…smashing without having to worry about getting pregnant. Here are some cheeky cards you can share with your friends to celebrate this year.
For the fur mom

Is she happy to pick up poop off the sidewalk, but not so jazzed at the thought of wiping it off someone else’s butt 6 times a day, especially if that someone is screaming the entire time? This one’s for her.
For the fun friend

Not only does rosé taste better than breast milk, but the bottles are way prettier and don’t have those annoying lines on them telling you how much you’ve had.
For the one who has big plans

Getting a big promotion? Check. Traveling around the world? Also check. This one’s for the one with big dreams who always has something amazing to report, all of which would be a heck of a lot harder with a baby in tow.
For the one who’s living her best life

This one’s for anybody who knows that stress and sex don’t mix well (which is pretty much everybody).
For the one who has her priorities in order

This friend knows that both a late night out and a hot night in call for tacos in bed and absolutely no crying (except maybe cries of carnitas-induced ecstasy).
And if you’re the friend that loves all of the above and knows damn well that none of it is possible without birth control, get on social and share your love for BC with everyone everywhere using #ThxBirthControl.
We trust that sexy brain of yours to post with good intentions. And we promise to respect your perspective, thoughts, insight, advice, humor, cheeky anecdotes, and tips. We’ll even indulge a healthy rant or two. But we must ask that you cite your source if you want to challenge any scientific or technical information on Bedsider. And please note: We will not tolerate abusive comments, racism, personal attacks, or bullying. That’s why we take our time to read every comment before it is posted.

Just remember to be respectful and you’ll be good to go.
Oh! One more thing: We do our best to answer questions in a timely manner, but we can’t guarantee an immediate reply. (And we don’t answer questions that are already answered in the article you’re commenting on.) If you ask a question and need a response right now, we partner with San Francisco Sex Information (SFSI) to give you free, accurate, confidential info on sex and reproductive health. Their phone number is 415-989-SFSI (7374) and here are their hours. And if you have an urgent medical question, please contact your doctor or a local health center. We’re here to help you stay informed, but only a medical professional can advise you on personal health concerns.
