Contraception

An IUD is a tiny, T-shaped device that sits inside the uterus and provides long-term, super effective birth control. There are hormonal and non-hormonal options, and both can last for years. For queer folks, it can be a gender-affirming choice, offering cycle control and peace of mind. We’ll walk you through what insertion feels like, what to expect afterward, and how to decide if an IUD fits your body and your identity.

The implant is a small, flexible rod that sits just under the skin of your upper arm and slowly releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. It lasts up to three years and is one of the most effective contraception options out there. We’ll cover how it’s inserted, possible side effects, and what to expect day to day so you can decide if it’s right for you.

The mini pill is a progestogen-only contraceptive taken daily, great for people who can’t or prefer not to use estrogen. It works by thickening cervical mucus and sometimes stopping ovulation to prevent pregnancy. We’ll explain how to take it correctly, what to expect with your period, and tips to keep it effective every day.

An internal condom is a soft pouch that lines the inside of the vagina or front hole (and can also be used for the butt) to help prevent STIs and pregnancy. It’s flexible, body-safe, and gives you more control over protection during sex. We cover how it works, how to use it comfortably, what it feels like in real life, and why so many queer folks are into it.
