Europe approves first saliva-based contraceptive – no pill required

tldr: it's not contraception at all, just a cycle tracking app with salivary progesterone tests
Propelloni•2h ago
Yeah, it is a medical device and has been approved as such by the UK standard body. Not "Europe" by a far stretch and certainly not EU.
croes•2h ago
It must be some kind of EU approval or how would you explain

> Following the regulatory approval, Innie’s birth control is now available for purchase in Germany and Austria, with plans to expand to the UK later this year

BrandoElFollito•32m ago
I think that just the fact that you can buy it does not make it a medical device.

You can buy contraceptive devices such as a larger con you press between your knees (just kidding) but they would not be medically approved as contraceptives.

> up to 100% effective

That doesn't mean anything, 0% is included in “up to 100%”.

Leftium•1h ago
I think the stat was hedged because of this, further down:

> ...100% effective when used perfectly, and 92% effective for typical use.

This is actually a crazy important development if the results can be reproduced in larger studies.

Hormonal contraceptives are absolutely terrible. None of my long term partners were happy with them—whether it was a hormonal implant, hormonal IUD or pill, the side effects have always been ridiculous.

In addition, WHO classified oral contraceptives as G1 carcinogens. So having a potential alternative is incredibly important.

It is insane to me that as a society, we’re fine asking women to “just take drugs” that mess with their reproductive system, affecting their mood, sleep, weight, libido, and blood pressure (and most likely a lot more I’m not aware of).

which society is that? who are those 'we'?
BrandoElFollito•34m ago
My wife is very happy with her IUD. She had terrible menstrual pains and now it's all gone, including the blood (and related surprises).

So it depends on the person.

I would be super happy to use similarly effective male contraceptives.

hagbard_c•37m ago
Hm, not having read the article yet I had a quick vision of a product which gives a person such bad halitosis that the chance of successful procreation is reduced to an absolute minimum. No pill required, indeed.
