Women are suffering in silence, and it needs to stop.

Sunday 26th September is World Contraception Day, and while it’s something that millions of women think about on a daily basis, having a dedicated day is a good time to reassess where we’re at.

While contraception methods vary greatly from between women, it’s something we’ve likely all considered at this point. From battling period pains in our teenage years to controlling hormonal acne and preventing pregnancy, there’s a never-ending list of reasons where contraception comes into play.

According to new research conducted by Pureprofile on behalf of Bayer, one in three women are unsatisfied with their contraception but haven’t tried something new. From its impact on mental health to fluctuating weight and the long-term impact of taking hormones, there’s no shortage of factors causing women to feel unhappy with their current contraceptive choices.
