Sexy. Supportive. Reliable. We aren’t just talking about your ideal life partner 💭Misleading headlines surrounding a study published by the @bmj_company Sexual and Reproductive Health went viral last week 🫥⁠

🇬🇧 Increasing brand awareness in the UK. This includes full-page advertisements in @thetimes and @dailymail today. UK women deserve to know that there is a certified, hormone-free contraceptive option available to them.⁠
⁠
ℹ️ Promoting accessible tools, such as @get.the.lowdown, and equipping healthcare professionals with the educational resources they need to better support women’s reproductive health decisions.⁠

🤝 Establishing a committee of UK researchers, healthcare professionals, and leading women’s health experts to address gaps in education about fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs) and digital contraceptive tools.

🏛️ Engaging with key decision-markers and governing bodies in the UK to propose and advocate for improved policies and women’s healthcare. This will include subsidisation efforts as not all contraceptive options, including Natural Cycles, are covered by the NHS.⁠
⁠
🔬 Investing in more women’s health research, which will include taking another look at our UK user effectiveness rates in 2025.⁠

You will notice visual changes to your vagina in the days and weeks following a vaginal birth and, at first, there might be some swelling and bruising. Over time the vagina will heal and reshape, and while it might not be exactly the same as it was pre-pregnancy, changes to the vagina don’t generally affect our sex lives after giving birth.Misleading headlines surrounding a study published by the @bmj_company Sexual and Reproductive Health went viral this week 🫥⁠
