About the session
Everything you need to get started with thermal contraception.
This session is for you if
- You want to try the rings and find your perfect size
- You want to find out whether the thermal method is right for you or not
- You want to share the contraceptive load with your partner, and understand the method before you talk it over together
- You've decided to change your contraception but don't know where to start: where to find rings, and health professionals who can support you along the way
- Sam rides across France by bike putting glitter and silicone into the underwear of whoever's up for it, but that route hasn't crossed yours yet: you haven't had the chance to join a DIY workshop and make your own ring
