      Reminds me of those birth control implants that look horrifying and turned out be exactly as you described.

      All that being said, a lot of people still swear by them.

        When they’re done right and there’s no complications, those only hurt when they’re put in and taken out … which for a snorkeling demon is going to be a lot more frequent than a coil

        (coils do work really well for a lot of women)

          Are those the coils that cause an inflammatory response to block the fallopian tubes? There are some horror stories about the reactions they can cause in some people.

            Yeah, they work for most people … the horror stories often come along like those in any form of women’s health - lack of proper knowledge, and not believing women when they say they’re in pain results in bad outcomes.

            The number of gynos who don’t know how to properly insert and remove them is worrying.
