“I’ve seen two different packages. One is just this laid-out packet of like 30 pills for the month, and when I look at that, it’s kind of overwhelming because you realize how many pills that you have to take if you’re on birth control. The other packet - which is like a circle and you can rotate it and it hides most of the pills and just shows the one that you need to take for that day - I think that’s probably more effective because it doesn’t make you realize how many you need to take.” - Click here for video of interview 2.
