Jannette, 29, IUD
Birth control…for a woman it’s like revolutionary.
Like many young women and men, Jannette was sexually active before she learned how to use birth control effectively. That resulted in her daughter being born while Jannette was still a teen.
Now she has a much greater understanding of pregnancy prevention and uses a Paragard IUD, one of the easiest, longest lasting, and most reliable birth control methods available. (And because Jannette’s also savvy about STI prevention, she knows that condoms are needed too until a couple follows these steps.)
