In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

Often referred to as “getting your tubes tied,” a tubal ligation is a popular form of female sterilization. It has a 99.5% effectiveness for preventing pregnancy and can be a great option for women who don't want to have a child in the future. You may want to choose this option if you have lingering doubts about sterilization. This procedure can sometimes be reversed. However, only 50-80% of women who have a reversal will be able to get pregnant. The female partner can also choose to be sterilized by having her fallopian tubes removed. This is a permanent surgical solution. Fortunately, it is not painful! Talk to your doctor to see if it's right for you. Unlike with a tubal ligation, there is no way to reverse this procedure. The male partner can get a vasectomy, which is a simple, effective procedure. The doctor can do it in-office with little pain. Vasectomies are 99.9% effective. In some cases, vasectomies can be reversed. However, it's best to wait until the couple is sure they don't want to have a child.

Summary:
Choose a tubal ligation. Have your fallopian tubes removed. Get a vasectomy.
