If you don’t want to put hormones in your body — whether for medical reasons or personal preferences — there are still other contraceptive methods that you can use!
Condoms
The most popular and widely available method is the condom, which is very effective in protecting you from STIs and unplanned pregnancy, as well as making your sex life more fun because of the various scents and textures to choose from.
Condoms cost between Php27 to Php215 (SRP) a pack depending on the variant, and can be bought in most drugstores, convenience stores, and on leading online shops.
Copper IUD
If you prefer something more long-term, you can opt for the copper IUD. A copper IUD doesn’t contain any hormones, but does its job of effectively protecting you for between five to ten years. Once the doctor has inserted the IUD, there’s nothing else you have to do until it’s time to have it replaced or you want it removed so you can get pregnant.
In the Philippines, the most cost-effective and hormone-free contraceptive method is the copper IUD. It initially costs around Php60.00-105.00/piece (SRP), but enough to cover you for five to ten years.
