Roughly 1 in 2 people is a woman.

Roughly 1 in 2 women may need emergency contraception at some point in their lives.



Women's health is important and it's always amazing to me how uneven women's health education is in different areas. While I've been fortunate to have never needed an emergency contraceptive, I'm also very lucky in that I have a mother who always encouraged very open communication and made sure I wasn't misinformed or embarrassed about my body and my health needs.

I recently received a super awesome Prepared Is Powerful kit from Preventeza™ from Vagisil® with InfluenceHer Collective, so I had to share what I learned with you guys! There are so many misconceptions out there about emergency contraceptives.



Let's start by clearing up a big concern a lot of people have: Preventeza™ is NOT an abortion pill. It does not end a pregnancy, it helps stop pregnancy before it can happen. Take one Preventeza™ within 72 hours of unprotected sex or birth control failure to prevent pregnancy before it can happen.

It contains the same ingredient as most birth control pills and is available without a prescription! You can buy Preventeza™ online and the boxes come stamped with dates through which they're effective and mine are effective for a full year! Perfect to keep in the medicine cabinet, just in case.



The condom breaks? Preventeza™. You got carried away? Preventeza™ (and an STI check, please!). Whatever the reason, Preventeza™ protects you from finding yourself in the terrible position of having an unwanted pregnancy, and there's no reason whatsoever that you shouldn't keep some on hand! I'll take prepared over panicked any day, and I'd rather take a Preventeza™ than spend anxious weeks waiting for my period to come.
