A marked increase in acceptance of the ovulation method of contraception, together with promising method and user failure rates, were revealed in this study of women to whom a system of combining the ovulation method with the optional use of a diaphragm, advisedly as a menstrual seal, was offered.

Review
Development efforts on contraceptive vaginal rings were initiated over 40 years ago based on two principles: the capacity of the vaginal epithelium to absorb steroids and the capacity of elastomers to release these hormones at a nearly constant rate. Numerous models of contraceptive vaginal rings (CVRs) have been studied, but only two have reached the market: NuvaRing, a combined ring that releases etonogestrel (ENG) and ethinylestradiol (EE), and Progering, a progesterone-releasing ring for use in lactating women. The main advantages of CVRs are their effectiveness (similar to or slightly better than the pill), ease of use without the need of remembering a daily routine, user's ability to control initiation and discontinuation, nearly constant release rate allowing for lower doses, greater bioavailability and good cycle control with the combined ring. The main disadvantages are related to the mode of delivery; CVRs may cause vaginal discharge and complaints, ring expulsion is not uncommon, the ring may be felt during coitus and vaginal insertion may be unpleasant for some women. The studies reviewed in this article provide evidence that CVRs are safe, effective and highly acceptable to women. There is no doubt that CVRs offer a new, effective contraceptive option to women, expanding their available choices of hormonal contraception.

Review
Family planning enables society to prevent unintended pregnancies and helps in attaining desired spacing between the pregnancies. It is done with the use of contraceptive methods and infertility treatments. The use of contraceptives serves to ease maternal ill-health and reduce pregnancy-related deaths and helps to decrease the number of unsafe abortions and HIV transmission from mothers to newborns. The most popular contraception method is a daily dose of combined oral contraceptives pills. However, poor compliance and various adverse effects are common problems of oral contraceptives that considerably reduce their long-term use. Thus, several non-oral contraceptive options have been developed for better compliance, reduced side effects and improved therapeutic efficacy. This review presented the non-oral contraceptive formulations given by different routes such as transdermal, nasal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intrauterine and vaginal routes. These formulations delivering contraceptives, mainly through devices, include transdermal patches and microneedles, nasal sprays, intrauterine devices and intrauterine systems, vaginal rings, contraceptive implants and contraceptive injections, which are unique in their specific advantages and drawbacks.

Comparative Study
Little attention has been paid to the diaphragm as a contraceptive option for adolescents. To compare diaphragm and birth control pill use by adolescents, 124 females (aged 13-20 years) in a suburban-based adolescent health service were interviewed at least one year after receiving a contraceptive prescription. The 73 diaphragm choosers did not differ from the 51 pill choosers in age, race, or reason for their original visit to the health service. Diaphragm choosers, however, were better students, of higher socioeconomic status, and had had fewer prior pregnancies. In the year following prescription, continuous use for 12 months was reported by 43% of diaphragm choosers and 45% of pill choosers, with significantly more pill (26%) than diaphragm (8%) choosers reporting discontinued use for at least one month while remaining sexually active. Regular use (diaphragm every intercourse, missing less than or equal to 1 pill/month) was reported by 36% of diaphragm choosers compared to 88% of pill choosers; and at least one pregnancy during the year was reported by 15% of diaphragm choosers and 18% of pill choosers. At follow-up interviews, diaphragm subjects disliked the immediate annoyances of the diaphragm, and pill users expressed concern about the potential side effects of the pill. No single factor or set of factors correlated with continuous and regular use of either method. Because both methods present specific problems for certain patients, we suggest that in addition to the pill, the diaphragm should receive serious consideration as a contraceptive option for adolescents.
