It is a long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) method, meaning that it can provide effective contraception for several years without the need for daily or weekly action on the part of the user. IUDs are one of the most effective forms of contraception available, with a failure rate of less than 1%. They are also safe for most women, including those who have never given birth. To insert an IUD, a healthcare provider will use a special device called an IUD loading device. This device helps to ensure that the IUD is inserted correctly and safely. There are two main types of IUD loading devices: cup-shaped and U-shaped.  Cup-shaped IUD loading devices are the most common type. They have a cup-shaped tip that fits over the IUD. The healthcare provider will place the IUD in the cup and then insert the device into the uterus. U-shaped IUD loading devices are less common. They have a U-shaped tip that fits around the IUD. The healthcare provider will place the IUD in the U-shaped tip and then insert the device into the uterus.  Both types of IUD loading devices are effective and safe. The type of device that is used will depend on the preference of the healthcare provider and the type of IUD being inserted. Benefits of using an IUD loading device:    Accuracy: IUD loading devices help to ensure that the IUD is inserted correctly and safely.
