birth control
"I have been on NuvaRing for about two and a half years and it is fantastic. My periods were significantly shorter and lighter. Before starting the ring my period was a least 5 days long and I would need super plus and super tampons each day. Once on the ring my period lasted about 3 days and I rarely need super tampons. In addition, I didn't have to worry about taking a pill at the same time every day. That being said, I have noted a bit of dryness during sex and the ring can occasionally be difficult to insert, again due to dryness. Other than those side effects, which are relatively minor and easily remedied with personal lubricant, my experience with the NuvaRing has been a great."
