So I’m a very busy woman, right? And I know there are some days when I’m running down the street, cup of coffee (well, in my case, chai) in hand, when my birth control alarm goes off on my cell: and the first thing that comes to mind is, “Damn, if only I could chew my pill instead of just swallow it!”

Well, maybe not, but that seems to be the scenario that the makers of Femcon Fe, the world’s first chewable OCP, have in mind. Because apparently, the solution to a busy schedule is having a pill you can chew rather than swallow.

Now, personally, I would think that having to chew your pill would actually take more time out of your day (especially since you have drink 8 oz. of water after chewing the pill, to assure that all the residue gets into your system). But hey: I’m not going to argue that too hard, because having more options for birth control is always a good thing.

But, uh, can we get back into the labs and start working on that male pill? Or shot? Or something? Please?

[NB: For the curious, Femcon Fe is spearmint-flavored. That's right: spearmint.]
