What’s in your safer s*x pocket? 🤭
Okay, real talk: you actually shouldn’t keep a condom in your pocket (or wallet) for a long time, as friction from the material can degrade the condom over time and make it less effective. Make sure to keep any internal and external condoms or dental dams (to protect you during oral s*x!) in a dry, room temperature area, ideally between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. DEF make sure they’re not exposed to temperatures colder than 32 degrees F (freezing) or hotter than 100 degrees F. 🥶 🥵
L**e is always a great addition to a safer s*x repertoire to ensure maximum comfort without irritating friction! 💦 And if you like a vi****or or s*x toy, you can cover it with a condom and switch condoms between partners to avoid STI transmission! 🦠

Prevent pregnancy AFTER you have s*x with emergency contraception! 🚨
🙂 Somewhat Effective: Plan B!

➡️Oral tablet (swallowed by mouth)

➡️ Works to prevent ovulation with a high dose of the hormone progesterone (if you have already ovulated, it won’t be effective)

➡️ Take it within 3 days of s*x (more effective the sooner it’s taken)

➡️ Available at Lovering for free, or for purchase between $10-$60 online or at your local drugstore

➡️ May be less effective for folks over 165lbs due to lack of body diversity in clinical trials

😊More Effective: Ella!

➡️Oral tablet (swallowed by mouth)

➡️Works to prevent ovulation AS WELL AS preventing a fertilized egg to attach to the uterine lining

➡️Take it within 5 days of s*x (more effective the sooner you take it)

➡️Available WITH A PRESCRIPTION from a healthcare provider at Lovering ($50) and at some pharmacies (cost varies)

➡️May be less effective for folks over 195lbs due to lack of body diversity in clinical trials

😁Most Effective: IUD!

➡️Inserted through the cervix and into the uterus by a healthcare provider (requires an appointment for the procedure)

➡️Works to prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterine lining

➡️Have it inserted within 5 days of s*x (no change to efficacy if inserted sooner within this range)

➡️No change in efficacy based on body size

➡️Can be kept in place as ongoing pregnancy prevention or removed after your next period!

✨Pain and anxiety management options got IUD insertion vary — talk to your healthcare provider about what’s right for you!

I LOVE YOU: Say it with l**e! 💦
L**e reduces friction and often increases comfort and pleasure during s*x and can be a super important and helpful tool! Whether you're in a long term relationship, starting something new, or enjoying casual s*x your s*xual partners should care about your comfort, enjoyment, and pleasure, and vice versa! 🔥
People with vaginas often make their own lubrication when aroused (turned on), but lots of people still need a little assistance from l**e to feel comfortable and that's super normal! Especially if you're engaging in any kind of penetrative a**l s*x, it's super important to use l**e because the re**um doesn't make its own lubrication and is made of delicate tissue that can be prone to microtears and irritation if there's too much friction! 🍑 (NO, spit is NOT enough! ❌)
It's important to know that if you're using a latex barrier (like condoms) you should avoid using oil-based l**e as this can degrade the condom and cause breakage and decrease effectiveness of STI and pregnancy prevention. If you're using latex barriers, go for a silicone- or water-based l**e instead! 🫶
