Why are contraceptive implants placed on arm?

495 viewsBiologyOther

My girlfriend has one of those and has a bunch of pain, so maybe there would be another place to put it that isn’t on contact very often.

Also why is mostly used for teenagers? (She got it when 16 now is 20 and is not recommended to use another one)

I’ve never felt pain with mine, and I’m an adult so it’s certainly not used only for teenagers. It may be recommend for teenagers because it is the most effective birth control, it does not require a teenager remembering to take it/schedule it like pills or the depo shots, and is often considered less invasive than an IUD particularly for girls who are underage or never have had sex.
