You did a great job showing how misleading birth control stats can be. I especially liked the part comparing typical vs. perfect use—that really helped clear things up. The “Did You Know?” section also stood out to me and made the issue feel more urgent. The visuals were super helpful and made it easy to follow. It definitely made me think more critically about how effectiveness is actually measured.

This article did a great job unpacking a complex and often misunderstood topic. I appreciated how it explained the difference between perfect use and typical use in a clear way. The discussion around statistical interpretation was especially eye opening. It’s an important read for anyone making informed health choices. Thoughtful, well researched, and very relevant,great work!
