IUDs

Thinking about getting an IUD? You’re in the right place. Here’s the lowdown on one of the most popular long-term contraception options out there. IUDs (intrauterine devices) are small, flexible devices that sit inside your uterus and help prevent pregnancy for anywhere between 3 to 10 years depending on the type you choose.

They’re safe, super effective, and completely reversible if you decide you want to get pregnant later. Whether you’re curious about how they work, what insertion actually feels like, or which one might suit your body best, we’ve got you covered with real info, no scare tactics, and a dash of queer-friendly honesty.

Types of IUDs

MIRENAIUD

Mirena

Mirena is a hormonal IUD that provides up to eight years of highly effective contraception. It’s a popular choice for people who want lighter or no periods and long-term protection they don’t have to think about.

COPPERIUD

Copper

The copper IUD is a hormone-free option that protects against pregnancy for up to 10 years. It’s perfect if you want long-term, low-maintenance contraception without any hormonal effects.

KYLEENAIUD

Kyleena is a small, low-hormone IUD that provides up to five years of effortless, reliable contraception. It’s a great choice if you want lighter periods and protection that works quietly in the background.
