- After performing as a princess at kids' birthday parties;
birth control is a godsend.
(upbeat music)
- I was just gonna say I have no involvement
but I do pick it up on occasion.
- He's picked up my pill for me a couple of times
at the pharmacy when I was unable to get it.
- I know that it's free because of her insurance, for now.
- You've kind of told me, at times,
if you're on or off birth control
but I'm like, I've never gone with you.
I've never helped to like pick out.
- She had the prescription waiting
and I pop over and grab it.
When she came over it was waiting.
- It was there, it was
on the counter. - That's just the type
of dude I am.
(upbeat music)
- My sex ed experience in public school, growing up
was pretty typical, hey, a pull-out method;
ain't a good option.
- I know the basics, like the popular stuff.
You know, I've heard-tell about, you know,
crazy different type of shit.
- I just remember this one episode in Malaysia (laughs)
when her mom found her birth-control pills--
- Oh yeah - And they were in a circle.
- Did you learn about it in school?
- No, they don't teach it in school.
- I gotta be honest; I don't think I'm gonna do that well.
- I think Steve is more educated than a lot of men,
I've spoken to about birth-control. (Steve claps)
That being said, I think he'll do 50-50.
- I think he'll do great.
- I think I'll do-- - Because you're logical.
- Even still, I still don't think (laughs)
I know how these things work.
- I don't know if he has done any research on this--
- I wish I had.
- Oh, I guess he's going to do...
(upbeat music)
- [Swasti] Oh yes.
- The pill (bell chimes)
That's what this is, right?
- This looks to me like a birth-control pill. (bell chimes)
- Boom, circles. (bell chimes)
- Yes.
I made fun of them earlier. - A circle.
Look at that.
- Do you know how much this costs?
- I do not.
- It's got days on there because,
you wanna take it everyday,
I think at the same time everyday.
- You basically, have to take one a day, right?
To actually to use it completely correctly;
you can't miss a day.
- The ones in the middle are placebo pills.
- Stops you from ovulating randomly?
- It makes it so that you don't ovulate.
(upbeat music)
- We missing something here?
- This is quite a large ring.
- It is a really large ring.
- This is the one that you keep in the freezer. (laughs)
- Probably not the NuvaRing
(buzzes)
- It is the NuvaRing, right? (bell chimes)
- A NuvaRing?
Ayayaya.
- I took this for maybe like six months
when I was in college.
- I'd still ventured and guess it goes up your vagina.
- Yeah. - Where else would you,
put this?
- How do I think this is used?
- You twist it like that and,
you stick it on up in there.
- It increases the cervical mucus,
walls.
- Huh?
- How long does it stay in the vagina for?
- Couple of hours after use, I would guess.
- A couple of months?
Six months?
- So this already contains hormones.
- Got it. - You put it in there
and then the reason; it's like 21 to 28 days, is because--
- You have your period and then you actually
have to go to the pharmacy and get a new one
because the hormones in this one will run out after a month.
- Okay so I did say it was a NuvaRing
and then, you know, I second-guessed myself.
- You should have stuck with your gut.
- But I did say it so we should include
that part where I did.
(upbeat music)
- I love this one, it's so cute.
It's like a little toy.
- Damn, it's hard like to kind of really figure out
like what this thing could do, once it's inside there.
- So this, is an IUD (bell chimes)
- Yay!
- Is it coded in spermicide?
- It's all I got guys. (both laugh)
- Does this block like the uterus opening?
The U is definitely like uterus or u...
intra?
(upbeat music)
uterus...
uterine device. (bell chimes)
- I know it goes inside of the uterus
because of the name.
- Who puts it in place?
- You do.
What do you mean?
No no no, you have a doctor do it.
- I just said it word for word.
You like that?
- You keep this there for the full cycle;
the 20 something days or the 30 days?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
- You can keep this in for 10 to 12 years.
- You kidding me?
You know, I thought I got close on a lot of these
but maybe I know a little bit less than
I thought I did.
- I would say, I'm pretty shocked by how much I knew
but I'm definitely also shocked by how much I didn't know.
- It's also on men to take it upon themselves, if you're
in a relationship, to also be the responsible party.
I think it is a 50-50 thing.
- I think it is very important for guys to learn about this.
Mainly because in the current political climate;
all of these stuff could be going away soon.
- So are you gonna help pay for some
of my birth-control now?
- Yeah.
I mean, to me that makes sense.
- I was actually surprised about how much I didn't know
and this is why things like Planned Parenthood
are so important and it's because it provides you with
that education you won't necessarily get otherwise.
- You do feel passionate about that.
Call your male senators.
Tell them not to vote to take away your rights,
to take away your access to birth-control.
(upbeat music)
- [Narrator] It's not just a lady's responsibility browsers,
it's your responsibility too.
Stay well about it and be educated.
Don't be ignorant.
