The first time I was really exposed to the idea of emergency contraception was in college. Truthfully, it wasn’t something I even thought about until then, mostly because I didn’t know much about it. The women I knew who sought it out generally spoke about it in hushed tones. They’d make a mad dash to the drug store at the end of campus to get the protection they needed.
Did you know that one in two women may need emergency contraception at some point during her lifetime? Less than one in five women have actually used it when needed, for whatever reason. These women are your friends, your sisters, your classmates, and your co-workers. One of them might even be you or be you in the future. Having access to emergency contraception like Preventeza™ allows women to be prepared and not panicked after birth control failure or unprotected sex.
There are many reasons a woman can find herself in need of an emergency contraceptive pill. Just like you have a toolkit at the ready for your period, emergency contraception is a backup plan to have on hand as part of your sexual health toolkit. Keeping a pill or two on hand for when the need arises, whether it’s for you or a friend, can give you peace of mind when you really need it.
Vagisil® recently launched Preventeza™, an emergency contraceptive pill. For over 40 years, Vagisil® has been Shameless About Vaginal Health® and that means speaking openly on women’s health. By women and for women, it is their mission to educate and inform women on sexual health while providing them with solutions to these intimate issues. Women deserve to feel in control of their health and bodies because women’s health matters. You have choices, and they matter. You have options available to you and should never feel ashamed about using them, needing them or seeking more information.
There is no shame in taking control of your health, and that includes educating yourself and preparing with emergency birth control options. Having Preventeza™ on hand means that it’s part of your plan a — and there’s no need for a plan b. You can feel safe, secure, and prepared for a birth control failure. Most of all, you can feel empowered knowing you have a plan.
