- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

I saw one in an efficacy chart for different contraceptives that IUDs were slightly better than tubal ligation (literal sterilization)! Given the side effects etc. of the latter, it seems like 'getting your tubes tied' has become completely obsoleted by modern IUDs.
To be fair, this is likely about hormonal options, which is the primary reason people might be concerned about oral contraception mentioned in the post.
Regular copper IUDs have their track record a bit worse, but still going very strong.
Also, using IUDs ideally requires checking if the device is still set right after each period - not doing so may increase one's chances of getting pregnant.
