WHAT IT IS USED FOR : NuvaRing was the first vaginal ring approved for use. It delivers etonogestrel (a syntheic progestin) and ethinyl estradiol and requires use of a new ring each month.
Annovera is a contraceptive vaginal ring that releases segesterone acetate, a synthetic progestin, and ethinyl estradiol. It is the first product to contain segesterone. The Annovera ring can be used for an entire year, but it must be removed for one week each month. HOW TO USE : How to Use a Vaginal Ring :It’s similar to using a tampon. Follow these steps:
Wash and dry your hands.
Lie down with your knees bent, squat, or stand with one leg on a chair.
Open the foil and remove the ring. If you use disposable rings, you can save the foil package to wrap it in and throw it away later.
Hold the ring between your thumb and index finger.
Pinch the sides together so they touch in the center.
Insert the ring as far into your vagina as it will go.
NuvaRing makes a tampon-like applicator you can order to make inserting it easier. Or you can put the ring in an empty tampon applicator. WARNİNGS AND PRECAUTIONS: Who Shouldn’t Use the Vaginal Ring?
