Each bead on this necklace represents a day of a woman's menstrual period.  The Cyclebeads are being used around the world as a means of natural family planning.  A small rubber ring moves from bead to bead to signify the day of the month and the color of the bead signifies the level of fertility. This single beaded necklace can be used month after month, year after year-- nothing to consume, inject or implant.
