Although a steady increase in contraceptive use has been observed both in developed and less-developed countries, the large number of unplanned pregnancies may indicate that the contraceptive needs of a significant percentage of couples have so far not been met. Several new contraceptive products have reached the market during the last 2 years. Among these is a new contraceptive vaginal ring, which has become available for prescription. This new female method has been developed to expand the contraceptive choices available to couples.
