Do you feel more open when the ring is in?

Most people don't feel the vaginal ring once it's in. It's small and flexible, and it sits in the upper part of the vagina where there aren't many nerve endings.

Some people notice a slight feeling of fullness when they first put it in, but this usually goes away quickly as you get used to it. It shouldn't feel uncomfortable, and it shouldn't be noticeable during day-to-day activities.

During sex, some people or their partners can feel the ring, but it doesn't usually cause a problem. If it does, it can be temporarily removed for up to three hours without affecting how well it works.

If the ring feels uncomfortable, is causing pain, or keeps slipping out, it might not be positioned correctly. Pushing it a bit further in usually fixes it. If it's still not comfortable, speak to your GP or sexual health clinic.
