#opill is the latest contender in the OTC arena of pregnancy prevention, making it the most effective birth control method available without a prescription.

A light pink paper scrap with typewriter-style text reads “World Contraception Day” in the center, with “September 26” in smaller text below. The colorful scrapbook background includes layered paper scraps and construction paper cut-outs of different contraception methods, such as a condom, IUD, and birth control pills.
