CycleBeads by Cycle Technologies
CycleBeads were developed by the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University. CycleBeads are based on the Standard Days Method, a natural family planning method, which has proven to be more than 95% effective in preventing unplanned pregnancies.
CycleBeads can be used to achieve pregnancy or avoid pregnancy depending on the needs of the woman using them. To achieve pregnancy, a woman and her partner can easily determine which days she is most likely to become pregnant. To avoid pregnancy, a woman and her partner can choose to either use another method or not have intercourse on fertile days.
CycleBeads are an easy way to use a natural family planning method. They make it simple for a woman to track her cycle and clearly identify the days she could become pregnant and the days when pregnancy is most unlikely. CycleBeads are based on a natural family planning method that is more than 95% effective when used correctly.
Suggested Use
CycleBeads make natural family planning easy. To use CycleBeads a woman simply moves a ring over a series of color-coded beads that represent her fertile and low fertility days. The color of the beads lets her know whether she is on a day when she is likely to be fertile or not.
CycleBeads are a color-coded string of beads that represent a woman's menstrual cycle. Each bead represents a day of the cycle and the color helps a woman to determine if she is likely to be fertile that day.
The day a woman starts her period she puts the rubber ring on the red bead. Each day she moves the ring one bead, always in the direction of the arrow. When the ring is on the red bead or a dark bead, there is very low likelihood of pregnancy, so she can have intercourse on these days without getting pregnant. When the ring is on a white bead - Days 8 through 19 - there is a high likelihood of getting pregnant if a woman has unprotected intercourse.
Please note: The Standard Days Method, on which CycleBeads are based, works best for women with regular menstrual cycles that are between 26 and 32 days long. Women with cycles outside this range should use a different method of family planning.
