P-ring

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of something called the p-ring? It's a small device that a grown-up puts in their body to stop them from making a baby.

The p-ring is a tiny ring that looks like a rubber band and is made of a special material that slowly releases hormones into the body. These hormones stop the woman from getting pregnant by preventing the eggs from leaving her ovaries.

To use the p-ring, the grown-up has to put it inside their vagina, where it stays for three weeks. After three weeks, they take it out for a week to allow their body to have a period. Then they put a new one in and the process starts all over again.

Using the p-ring can be a good way for grown-ups to take control of their bodies and prevent unwanted pregnancies. But, it's important to talk to a doctor first to make sure it's the right method for them.
