Emmy® Award Winner Annie Murphy Partners with Evofem Biosciences to Talk Sex, Contraception, and Why She Chose Phexxi®

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVFM) today announced their partnership with Emmy® Award-winning actress Annie Murphy to launch "House Rules," a national campaign to generate awareness of Evofem's hormone-free contraceptive, Phexxi, while also highlighting the contraceptive journey of millions of women, like Annie, who are tired of dealing with the side effects of hormones in their birth control.

Annie Murphy stars in a 60-second TV commercial where she talks about her personal birth control journey and all the reasons why Phexxi is the right contraceptive for her.  She also empowers women to choose what they want and that they should live by their "rules," especially when it comes to choosing a birth control method.

"After trying multiple hormonal birth control methods for ten years and finding that none were right for me, I thought something was wrong with me," said Annie Murphy. "Like millions of other women, I decided to avoid hormonal contraception because of the side effects that I experienced, which included depression, mood swings, and irritability. After cycling through multiple options, I was not using any form of contraception. With Phexxi I found an option that works for me and fits my needs completely – which meant no messing with my hormones and no daily pills. With "House Rules" I am proud to empower women to learn about Phexxi and to demand more from their contraception."

Phexxi is the first and only FDA-approved hormone-free, use-it-only-when-you-need-it prescription vaginal gel that puts women in control of their bodies, their sex life, and their birth control needs.

"We are thrilled and honored to partner with Annie Murphy because she is the perfect embodiment of the Phexxi woman: strong, bold, and confident. Her birth control journey unfortunately is not uncommon and together we are excited to help bring greater awareness to Phexxi, hormone-free, on-demand birth control that women only use when they need it and never when they don't," said Saundra Pelletier, CEO of Evofem Biosciences. "We are amplifying Phexxi through Annie's "House Rules" because we know that some women may experience side effects from synthetic hormones and we firmly believe that women should call the shots when it comes to their bodies, their decisions, their quality of life, and most certainly their birth control."

Watch the "House Rules" commercial and Annie's birth control story on demand on YouTube. Join the conversation on social media, including Instagram (@Phexxi and @EvofemBiosciences), Facebook (@Phexxi and @Evofem), and Twitter (@Evofem).
