Episode 5 - The real cost of contraception

Meet Pay Love

This week, we’re talking to Emily from 1800myoptions about the cost of contraception, hygiene products and abortion. 1800myoptions has talked to around 12000 women about their contraception, abortion, pregnancy options and other sexual health needs.

After all, two-thirds of Australian women of reproductive age use birth control. At 1800myoptions, they don’t give specific medical advice, but they’ve definitely talked to enough people to know there are a lot of trends around who's paying for what and who's wanting what. Like, did you know the average woman spends $10,000 on period products in their lifetime? And moving from a short acting to a long acting contraception could actually save women a few hundred dollars every year?

It’s a delicate topic, but Zoe and Carmel want to know more.
