Why choose NFP?

Why choose a natural system of family planning?

It’s effective
There have been five major effectiveness studies conducted, which suggest that the method is 99.5% successful (as a means of avoiding pregnancy). These figures show an effectiveness that is comparable or better than any contraceptive product available.

It’s green
NFP is a totally natural approach. This avoids any reliance on contraceptive products and along with that, all the energy that would go into the marketing, production, distribution, use, destruction and waste generated by contraceptive products and contraceptive-related products. If you are looking for a safe, natural, organic and holistic approach to planning your family that does not pollute our precious planet, then this is it.

It promotes harmony with the body
NFP helps you to develop an intimate understanding of how your body works and decipher the signals that your body is giving you about your fertility and health.

It enables more communication and love
The successful use of the system relies on the couples being able to communicate about the times of fertility and infertility and in conjunction with that, their mutual desires and what they hope to achieve from the use of the system. For many couples the ability to communicate on this level really helps to develop a profound respect and love for each other and deepens the mutual commitment in their relationship.

It promotes the dignity of women
This approach promotes fundamental and profound respect between a man and a woman. This has the potential to promote respect for women and change the way women are treated and viewed on a fundamental level.

It enhances sexual relationships
NFP encourages a deeper understanding of human sexuality that goes beyond a limited genito-centric view to embrace a deeper more profound understanding of sexuality that ultimately leads to enhanced relationships.

It encourages shared responsibility

Using the system for family planning involves a process of mutual decision making by spouses. In this way, couples take equal responsibility in the use of the system. This is essential in truly sharing the responsibility of family planning.
