From now onwards women can stave off unwanted pregnancy in a fashion way. Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a way of family planning through jewelry. They have called them contraceptive jewelry.
They are in the shape and form of ear rings, rings, necklaces and watches. According to them these jewelries need to be worn in such a way that the patches placed on jewelry must touch skin surface. When they touch skin surface, the contraceptive hormone on the patches gets absorbed into the body and acts as contraceptive.
Wearing of these specific jewelry helps deliver sufficient amount of hormone to avoid conception. However, testing on human beings is yet to be carried out.
“If discontinued their wearing for some days, the hormone production becomes normal,” says researcher Mark Prausnitz.
“Because putting on jewellery may already be part of a woman’s daily routine, this technique may facilitate compliance with the drug regimen. This technique could more effectively empower some women to prevent unintended pregnancies,” said Prausnitz.
After further intense research, these jewelries will soon hit markets and their entry will end the days of condoms and contraceptive pills.
