Copper coil (IUD) vs Female condom

Insertion was a nightmare. I now come prepared to advocate for myself and demand pain medication. Don't let the GP/provider make you think paracetamol is enough. Other than that though, my periods are regular if not a bit longer. The first few months I was crampy but had come straight from 10 years of hormonal birth control so I think I had forgotten what my periods had felt like. Now there's barely any cramping, just annoyingly long at an average of 10 days.

Insertion - worst pain of my entire life Overall experience - very positive. Was able to track my cycle, didnt have to take a pill everyday and no hormonal side effects at all. I got really bad pain AFTER my peirod, which would cause me to feel bloated, tender like peirod cramps and feel tired. Removal was completley fine - a breeze and a mild peirod like cramp

Liked the coil however my periods were really long and extremely heavy and I became anemic. My partner could feel it too

Same as the male condom, has no side effects and will protect from STIs and pregnancy! The only thing its a little fiddly to get on and if you don't react well to latex then not ideal!

These condoms prevent me from getting UTIs, I can't have sex without them! I think it's because the part of the condom that sticks out covers my urethra and prevents bacteria from spreading. They're a little hard to use at first, and some brands are better than others, but I highly recommend them to everyone.

Tried it a couple times with different partners. Mixed reactions. I practiced inserting prior to anything, so it was easy, especially after a couple of tries. Sex felt no different for me and one of the partners. One didn't like the appearance and the other the feel. One thing I love is that it doesn't have that nasty latex smell! You can also use any lube. Overall, I think it is a great option for many people, but (like everything) you should try it a few times for yourself. Also great if you run into situations where the guy is resisting wearing a condom himself.

Used it once - it came off inside me within 5 minutes and I didn't realise so ended up having completely unprotected sex and having to get a STI test.
