So far the ring has been the absolute best option for me - so easy, few to no side effects, you can skip periods, - overall it just feels like it works more local than the pill...

I like the ring because is very easy to use, you just have to insert it inside the vagina and that’s it, you forget about it until you have to take it out. I’ve experienced changes in my mood the week before my period is supposed to come, it’s very annoying. Also my periods are heavier and more painful than before. Other than that is very comfy and my partner doesn’t feel it when we have sex. I feel like my sex drive is normal and has not change (I’ve been using the ring for about 8 months)
