Whether you’re thinking about switching to a new birth control method or simply want to learn more about your options, you’re in the right place.

While there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to birth control, understanding how different methods work—and what to consider with each one—can help you find an option that fits your body, needs, and lifestyle.

Birth control options can generally be grouped into hormonal, non-hormonal, short-acting, long-acting, behavioral, and permanent methods.

So, what are your options?

1. Birth Control Pills
The birth control pill is one of the most familiar contraceptive options. The pill is taken every day and works best when used consistently and as directed.

2. The Patch and Vaginal Ring
Not a fan of taking a pill every day? The birth control patch or vaginal ring may be worth considering.

3. The Shot (also known as Depo-Provera)
The birth control shot is another hormonal option. It contains progestin and is typically given every three months.

4. The Implant
The birth control implant is a small, flexible rod placed under the skin of the upper arm by a healthcare professional. It releases the hormone progestin and provides long-acting, reversible contraception.

5. IUDs
There are two main types of IUDs: hormonal IUDs release a small amount of progestin, while copper IUDs do not contain hormones. Depending on the type, an IUD can provide pregnancy prevention for several years.

6. Condoms
Condoms are a little different from many other birth control methods because they can help with both pregnancy prevention and STI risk reduction.

7. Behavioral Methods
Some birth control methods don't require hormones or a medical device. These include fertility-awareness methods, withdrawal, and abstinence.

8. Permanent Birth Control
Permanent contraception involves medical procedures intended to provide lasting pregnancy prevention.

9. Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception can help reduce the chance of pregnancy after unprotected s*x or contraceptive failure. Emergency contraception does not end an established pregnancy.
There isn't a single birth control method that's right for everyone. Your priorities may also change over time, which means the method that works for you now may not be the method you want in the future.

Whether you're looking for a daily method, a long-acting option, a hormone-free choice, or a method that can also help reduce STI risk, there are many options to consider.
We know repro. And now you know too!
