Safe days are those days during your menstrual cycle that aren't fertile and chances of you getting pregnant are less likely to occur.

When a thief steals from you, you go to the police to report an emergency break in but you don't have to go to the police everyday to report that they will steal from you. Similarly, Emergency Contraceptive Pills are not meant to be your first priority to prevent yourself from getting pregnant each time you have the urge to have sex but rather your plan B method or life saver that is going to help you in case something unexpected happens.
