Are you talking about the Implanon? It is about the size of a match stick and it just gets inserted under your arm with a needle. Yes they work. They are 99.9% reliable. You do not need to take any pills while you have the implanon. It lasts for 3 years before you need to get it removed and have a new one inserted. You just need condoms to protect against STDs. I have had 3 implanons and i love not having to remember a pill everyday. They can cause irregular periods, or if you are lucky like me, they will stop your periods all together while you are on the implanon.
