You don’t have to think about them every day or every time you have sex. LARC methods do not protect against STIs, so always use a condom too.
LARC methods are an alternative to the contraceptive pill. They offer the same level of protection against pregnancy that the pill does (over 99%) but they don’t need to be taken every day and can last for anything from 12 weeks to 10 years. Some LARC methods may also reduce or stop periods.
