"i am 22 year old, african-american female. i have been using gildess as a substitute for tarina and i have not experienced any adverse affects. 



my periods used to be quite heavy and lasting around 5-6 days. i used to completely soak over-night pads and had to change frequently. now, my periods are so light! they only last about 4 days and i find myself only needing to wear a couple of regular tampons through out the day. it;s great!



my skin is clear, have not had any breakouts and i experience no mood swings.



the only problem is---my sex drive is extremely low at times. so that sucks. :/ but for me, the goods outweigh the bads.



gildess is successful at preventing pregnancy."
