ella oh ella…

I already proclaimed my excitation and affection for this new lil’ thing to keep in the underwear drawer for an oops! moment, but started wondering – what exactly IS the difference between ella and Next Choice and Plan B One-Step? Turns out it’s all in the ingredients list…

Whoever says teens don't have their stuff figured out is totally off base, at least when it comes to condoms. In that department, teens are MORE responsible, when it comes to condom use, than adults, according to the Center for Sexual Health Promotion. They came out with a survey recently that showed teens (ages 14-17) are using condoms between 58.1-79.1% of the time, compared to 17.5-21.3% for adults between 35 and 44 years old.

Kourtney Kardashian recently announced that she is pregnant. While that is not all that news-worthy, what is interesting is that she admits that she often forgets to take her pills. In her own words: "This probably sounds so dumb, but there's so many times I'll forget to take my pill and I don't think it's that big of a deal, it's just so stupid."

Kudos to Gossip Girl for running a teen pregnancy prevention ad on last Monday's (Oct 27) episode. Check out the flyer here. The ad was created by The Candie's Foundation, a website dedicated to keeping teens from getting pregnant unintentionally. Hayden Panettiere, from Heroes, is featured prominently on the homepage. The ad from Gossip Girl also ran in the New York Times.
