Post Over the counter birth control

Hi gang. It's good to be back here, it's been a while. After my previous relationship went on the rocks I just cooled it for a while and only lurked occasionally here. Now, I have a fairly new girlfriend and tonight we finally had "the talk". Yes, about becoming more intimate with each other. She doesn't have money now to get on the pill and was wondering about over the counter birth control.

Question is, what are/is the best OTC birth control for women? Which one(s) is/are easiest to use? We are going out to the drugstore this weekend to have a look at what's out there for her and would like to have your opinions on what we should be looking at. Thank you in advance for the help.

I would use condoms.

why does she have to be the one on the birth control? even after the pill remember double protection is always better!

I noticed your post only seemed concerned with what SHE could do, and that she was expected to pay for the pills too. Interesting.
Anyway, condoms or the pill are all I trust. So, how about condoms? They're over-the-counter.
And you get to share in the joy of birth control and the cost.

Cool

Let me explain how it works.

You pay for her pills, every time, and in advance.

And pay (her) for the condoms too.

Otherwise "Penny wise, Pound foolish" will be to you, anything but a curious old saying.
