contraceptions
Pregnancy prevention methods
Contraceptions is the plural of contraception, referring to methods or devices that prevent pregnancy.
The plural form appears when distinguishing between different types: hormonal contraceptions like the pill versus barrier contraceptions like condoms.
The singular contraception, referring to pregnancy prevention generally, is far more common.
