Reading The Beads

THERE’S NO DOUBT about it: birth control is maddening. Pills are simple enough to use but can cause damaging side effects. Condoms and diaphragms are expensive–and a pain. And, let’s face it, natural (read: unpredictable) birth control just doesn’t work.

Or does it? CycleBeads, a new, colorful, necklacelike gadget, serves as a visual aid to help a woman accurately track her menstrual cycle. They’re available online ($12.50 at cyclebeads.com) and they’re simple to use: just move the black rubber band from bead to bead during the course of the month. A red bead marks the start of a woman’s period, brown beads mark infertile days and glow-in-the-dark beads mark the fertile days.

In trials, CycleBeads have proved more than 95 percent effective when used correctly. Now USAID hopes to make them available around the world.. "It will be very effective for a certain small select population," says Susan Ross of CARE, who has been overseeing a CycleBeads study in Uttar Pradesh, India. The gadget could be especially useful in rural areas, says Ross, as women wouldn’t need to visit their health clinic to restock.

But not everyone is keen on reading the beads. Some family-planning groups are skeptical, arguing that natural methods work only with abstinence. Still, CycleBeads might be worth a shot. If nothing else, they make for a nice night light.
