It ' s not glue yet . Keep swinging ! <| sep |> How exactly does those rings make old uncomfortable pads magically comfy all of a sudden ? <| sep |> Ahh yeah . I feel very fortunate to have found bc pills so early . I somehow managed to lose my virginity at 14 . When my mother found out she took me straight to the Gyno for the pill . 14 is really young or it was back then to lose your virginity but if I hadn ' t , who knows how many years it could have taken for me to discover the benefits . I know a lot of parents balk at the idea because they think it encourages sex . I wonder if they could remarket the pill as a menstrual symptom reducer with the side effect of not being about to get pregnant . Then maybe more young girls could have the option . I ' m glad there are alternatives for those who can ' t take the pill and those who have parents that refuse to consider the pill . Thanks for sharing them . I ' ve made note so I can help others in the future . Some women have it easy and don ' t realize how debilitating it can be . It ' s ridiculous how bad it can get !
