| Yes, it's true. About 27 percent of all women who use contraception rely on tubal sterilization. Nearly 10 percent rely on their partner's vasectomy. In all, about 37 percent of all women who use contraception rely on methods that are intended to be permanent.
The most popular reversible contraceptive in the U.S. is the Pill. (Worldwide, it's the IUD.) More than 30 percent of women who use contraception use the Pill. About 18 percent rely on the condom. More than five percent rely on hormone injections. Another four percent rely on withdrawal. All other methods combined — diaphragms and caps, periodic abstinence, implants, IUDs, female condom, and spermicide — are used by about six percent of women who use contraception.
