Advantages of NuvaRing

it can be inserted by you with no medical training or assistance from medical professionals required
it is highly effective, comparable to the intrauterine device (IUD or coil) and more effective than oral contraceptives
no painful injections, implants or intrauterine device (coil) insertion required
does not interrupt sexual spontaneity, does not affect intercourse
you may also use spermicides and lubricants
you do not have to remember to take a pill every day
the hormones are released slowly into the area where they are needed and therefore lower doses can be used than have previously been added to oral formulations
it has a steady release compared to the pill for instance and fewer reports of breast tenderness and nausea
illness such as vomiting and diarrhoea won’t affect the absorption of the contraceptive into the blood as absorption takes place in the vagina/reproductive system not the gut
less breakthrough bleeding occurs, may reduce excessive or heavy bleeding and/or painful periods (menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea)
is quickly and easily inserted or removed
it is easily reversible; whereas other methods may be irreversible or require several months after discontinuation until fertility returns to normal
