With so many different contraceptive methods out there, how do you make sure you choose the best one for you? To help you make the right choice, we’ve designed a simple questionnaire that will help you decide.

Whatever contraception My contraception tool recommends, always use a condom to help protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

All the methods recommended by My contraception tool are for women except for the male condom and male sterilisation.
