Birth Control Compacts

You don't have to settle for boring birth control compacts. Show off your personal style with something unique. You'll find that you can be discreet without being dull and ordinary.

Just In Case II at Amazon

In 2002, birth control pill manufacturer Ortho teamed up with fashion designer Nicole Miller to create a beautiful alternative to boring old plastic birth control compacts. The result was three designs: Red High Heels, Zebra Kiss, and Jewel. Other fashionable Ortho designs include Fuchsia Daisy, Expressions, Onyx, and Lapis.

Unfortunately, these beautiful birth control cases are no longer available from Ortho. Those who have them are likely to hold on to them, but you might get lucky and find one on eBay. However, Ortho is offering a nice alternative. Lo-Down! is a free rewards program offered to women who are new to the Pill.

Those who sign up not only get coupons, tips, and information, they also receive a free, stylish "personal pak" to keep their pills in. This is such an attractive alternative to the standard case that you may be tempted to show the pak off to your friends.

Another trendy alternative is the PillPak case. According to the company, one million women in the United States become pregnant each year because they didn't take their birth control pills properly. This is due to as many as 58 percent of women forgetting to take their pill each day. PillPak solves this problem with an alarm that you can set for the same time each day to remind you to take your pill.

Designed for rectangular or round cases, both shapes come in an assortment of colors and prints with prices ranging from $5.95 to $21.95.

Just In Case

Normally you would expect a birth control compact to contain birth control pills. However, with the danger of sexually transmitted diseases, women need to be safe. The fact is that birth control pills do not protect against disease.

Just In Case, Inc. has created a solution. Their Just In Case compact is a fashionable mirror compact with a handy compartment that allows storage of two condoms. Available in an array of gorgeous colors and sparkling Swarovski crystals, these cases range in price from $24.95 to $199.

Purchasing a Just In Case compact does more than give you peace of mind. Five percent of each purchase is donated to women's health organizations. When you purchase a Just In Case compact, you also join many celebrities such as Kate Walsh and Nicolette Sheriden who love this product.

You might be surprised to find other birth control compacts on eBay. Most are designed for function not fashion, but you can often find what you need at a reasonable price.

You can also find attractive fabric covers designed to conceal you birth control products-—pills or condoms. Cover Me Crazy is an eBay store that carries these as well as other custom covers for nearly anything you can think of.

Whatever option you choose, pick something that suits your taste and style. You don't need to be embarrassed about carrying your birth control in your purse. Take pride in the fact that you are taking responsibility for your own health. And don't forget to take your pill!
