Here's a great idea for a birth control pill package, where a 24-hour alarm sounds at the time you designate, and when you twist open the case, it stops the alarm. Take a pill, twist the case closed and that alarm is reset for the next day. Careful, though—might be a bit embarassing if that alarm goes off during Mass.

Normally we wouldn't have much patience with someone's inability to remember to take one pill a day, but since some of us have passed 30 and beyond, we're starting to realize that even some of the simplest things are not that easy to remember. We're hoping this concept for a birth control pill case by designer Ashley Spangler will actually be manufactured and sold, leaving fewer excuses for unwanted pregnancies.
