Scientists develop new birth control which works through your EARRINGS… so women never forget to take the pill again

IF you have a habit of forgetting to take your oral contraceptive pill, listen up.

Scientists think they could have come up with a solution, after a new type of birth control – in the form of jewellery – has been developed.

The clip-on earrings are infused with synthetic hormones which are absorbed by the skin from the woman’s earlobe and into her blood.

The hormones are similar to those found in the pill, working in the same way but removing the risk of forgetting to take your pill.

The new form of contraception has been detailed in a recent edition of the Journal of Controlled Release, with chemists at the Georgia Institute of Technology in America explaining how forgetting to take your pill is a big problem among women.

“This is especially true for contraceptive hormones, which provide almost perfect prevention of pregnancy if used correctly, but have significant failure rates in typical use,” they wrote.

“To increase medication acceptability and adherence, we introduce pharmaceutical jewellery, in which a transdermal patch is incorporated into jewellery worn on skin.”

While it’s been reported that tests on the earrings are highly effective, it’s currently unknown when and if they will be available in the UK.

Earlier this week, we told you one million women could be on WRONG contraceptive pill – suffering nasty side effects, doctors warn.

We also revealed one mum claims ‘toxic boob job slowly poisoned her’ leaving her suffering suicidal thoughts, weight loss and depression.

And we showed you half of Brits don’t have a CLUE where the vagina is… and it’s not just men!
