the only thing I don't like about them is gooey baindaid sticky stuff around it after you've had it on a few days.. but, overall, I LOVE it.. WAY WAY easier than the pill.

that's EXACTLY what i was gonna say! but i agree.. they are sooooo much easier than the pill or anything really. i just wish insurance covered more of the cost. i'm not thrilled about the $25 i have to fork out each month, but OH well!

Meri mine is covered by my insurance same as my BC pills were. I only have a $5 co-pay coz there isn't a generic substitute.

And verT, I stopped the sticky stuff with tincture of benzoin or tinc-o-ben, applied lightly on the area the adhesive (ONLY) touches.
You can try that spray on bandage stuff over it if you cant cind the other products.

Mine were free as well, but when TennCare booted me (with NO forewarning) I started to have to pay outta my pocket for BC.. OUCH!

It SHOULD be free..

ouch Verti, that sucks. i know they are expensive b/c they are still relatively new and as sholix said no generic. however, i will gladly pay the $25 every month to not have to worry about getting pregnant again ( i love my boys but NO way do i want to go through that again any time soon ). i'm trying to convince ron to go get the snip & clip so that i don't have to worry about it at all!!!

I can't really complain.. I guess a baby would cost more every month, huh?

OMG yes!! especially with both of them still in diapers!

Would youse girls trust a guy to take the male pill/patch when it becomes available?

Merideth · Post by **Merideth** » 27-04-04, 9:29 pm

i'd trust my HUSBAND to take it...

ok, but say u hadnt been seeing the guy long

Merideth · Post by **Merideth** » 27-04-04, 9:34 pm

um... i don't know... that's a hard one to answer. depends on what you mean by "not long"

Danny1810 · Post by **Danny1810** » 27-04-04, 9:36 pm

long enough to think about going from condom to pill
would you pick guy pill or woman pill?
