Zero hormones. Over 99% effective. Totally reversible and can last up to 12 years. It’s the ParaGard IUD.
Looking for low-maintenance, super-effective birth control, but not okay with hormones? You’re in luck, because the ParaGard (a.k.a. copper) IUD happens to come with zero hormones and a ton of perks.
