Happy New Year!
don't drop the ball!
Instead of posting some random facts about this holiday (if there are any?) I figured I should post about the “Don’t Drop The Ball” campaign. Hope everybody has a happy (and safe!) holiday.
Why New Year’s Eve?
New Year’s Eve is not a good night for birth control use. Condoms break. Pills are forgotten. In fact, sales of emergency contraception more than double in the days after December 31st, according to January 2009 statistics provided by Teva Pharmaceuticals, makers of Plan B One Step ® (the one-pill version of emergency contraception).
What is emergency contraception?
Make a birth control plan before New Year’s Eve. But if that goes wrong, as things can, know that you have a back-up option with emergency contraception. Emergency contraception is birth control that prevents pregnancy after sex. It is not the abortion pill. It’s available at the pharmacy counter without a prescription for women 17 and older, even in just one pill. If you are under 17, you’ll need a doctor’s prescription. For more information click here.

That video is hilarious to me. I love those women reading the texts, so confused looking. =D
And I’m glad there’s an advertisement for something remotely related to sex that’s not annoying (Viagra whistling ads), awkward (condom ads), or uninteresting (a lot of BC ads which are informative only so a lot of people don’t absorb anything from them).
