Elliot, 24, the pill
It’s better than having to go buy condoms. Condoms are expensive.
Once Elliot and his girlfriend got more serious—and exclusive—they moved from condoms to the birth control pill.
Sure, she has to set reminders to remember exactly when to take the pill everyday, but they’ve totally regulated her menstrual cycle. And Elliot appreciates that the pill is less expensive than condoms and allows them to be covered by birth control at all times, whereas if you’re out of condoms, you’re out of luck.
