Anyone have Gynefix or Ballerine?

I’ve been using condoms for years but now weighing up options between the mini pill and copper IUD. I came across Gynefix and Ballerine which sound like better options than the T shaped coil, does anyone have these? They are available in the UK but info is really unclear on where you can actually get them fitted

Why do they sound like better options for you? I was offered gynaefix after having 3 different T shaped IUDs which were all wonderfully ejected by my uterus but I suspect they aren’t offered to all as fitting it more complex and probably for cost reasons?

They just sound better in general in terms of the shape working for different sizes or shapes of uterus and less chance of movement or perforation. The website where I read about them seemed to suggest that all three shapes are on offer to the average woman but I think that might not be true! When you say your IUDs were ejected do you mean they came out?
