Would you trust it less than the female birth control pills?

    No. But I also dont trust female birth control pills. I'm vaguely aware of the side effects and hormonal shifts, and I don't think I want that in my life.

    The big point of this one is that it is not hormonal, and so far this study shows no side effects. So for a couple, it could be the pill with least side effects overall.

    of course nothing is 100% effective, not even condoms. consider each an additional layer of security.

    Sure, but is the additional security worth the sides? I could wear a medieval suit of armor around all day to be safer, but it would be extremely inconvenient.
