# Historical Contraceptive Videos Engender Health's Video Raises Awareness on Contraceptive Access By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-09-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engender-health References: [jezebel](http://jezebel.com/historys-worst-contraceptives-will-make-your-vagina-win-1637748301) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_SoFPd-WIk) A pleasant British woman narrates the drastic measures that women have resorted to in order to avoid getting pregnant over the course of history, in this informative video by Egender Health. Titled 'History's Worst Contraceptives,' the video provides absolutely horrifying bits of trivia. For instance, did you know that in ancient Egypt, women concocted a [spermicide](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-play-lube) from crocodile waste and honey? Or that in Europe, in the Middle Ages, women strapped weasel testicles to their body in an effort to avoid pregnancy? Oh, and it gets much, much worse; so bad, in fact, that you might have to go and lovingly cradle your [birth control and condoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chillhouse-x-opill), and thank God they are made from latex and not pig intestines. The facts are presented us as part of the WTFP?! initiative, dedicated to providing the 220+ million women who are living without contraceptive or [family planning access](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reproductive-health-campaign), with just that -- so we don't have to resort to home-made birth control measures, again. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Contraceptive Awareness:** There is a trend towards raising awareness about the history of contraception and its importance in reproductive health. - **Family Planning Access:** The trend of advocating for improved access to contraceptives and family planning methods is gaining momentum. - **WTFP?!
