The wide range of contraceptives available can make choosing the best option for you feel daunting. Contraceptives can be split into two categories: user dependent contraceptives and long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC).
Looking for emergency contraception? There is support available on the NHS website or you can talk to a pharmacist, your GP, NHS 111 or visit your local sexual health clinic.

Some common examples of user dependent contraceptives include:
- Oral contraceptive tablets, including Hana
- Condoms.
Long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) methods are different to user dependent contraceptive methods because they don’t rely on you remembering to use them regularly. They provide long term protection against pregnancy.
Common LARC methods include:
- Intrauterine device (IUD)
- Intrauterine system (IUS)
- Implant
- Injection.
