What are the advantages of The Ring?

• You don't have to take a pill daily or interrupt sex to use a barrier contraceptive.
• Rings decrease a woman's menstrual cramps and pain.
• Rings decrease the amount of menstrual bleeding and a woman's risk for anemia.
• Acne may improve and facial hair is diminished.
• Many women enjoy sex more when using NuvaRings.
• You can use rings for an extended period of time or continuously (with no hormone-free intervals).
• Each ring has enough hormones to suppress ovulation for up to 35 days, so you can be a number of days late putting in a new ring.
• The dose of estrogen is lower in the case of the NuvaRing than it is for the two other combined hormonal contraceptives, the pill and the patch.
