Wish your birth control could just take care of itself?
You’re not alone. Many women dream of contraception that’s reliable, reversible, and doesn’t demand a daily reminder on their phones. That’s where LARC — Long Acting Reversible Contraception — steps in.
Think of it as the “fit-and-forget” method. Once placed, it silently does its job — protecting you from unplanned pregnancies for years — until you’re ready to plan your next chapter.
So, what exactly is LARC?
LARC includes three main options:
Copper IUD – hormone-free and can last up to 10 years.
Hormonal IUS (intrauterine system) – gently releases hormones to regulate periods and offers 3–5 years of protection.
Contraceptive implant – a tiny rod under the skin that works for 3 years.
All of them are over 99% effective — some of the most dependable methods out there.
Why women love it?
Life’s busy. Whether you’re building your career, travelling, or just want the freedom of not worrying about a missed pill — LARC is designed for your lifestyle.
You get:
✔️ Long-term protection
✔️ Zero daily maintenance
✔️ Total reversibility whenever you decide to conceive
It’s contraception that adapts to your plans, not the other way around.
What to keep in mind?
While LARC is safe for most women, mild changes in your cycle are common, especially in the first few months. The insertion and removal need to be done by a doctor — a quick, guided procedure with the right care and comfort.
A short consultation helps choose what fits your body and goals best.
The bigger picture
Contraception is not about control — it’s about choice. It’s about owning your timeline, your comfort, and your peace of mind.
If freedom and flexibility sound like your vibe, LARC could be your quiet, confident partner in the background — letting you live your best life, worry-free.
