📅 First Weeks
You might notice the ring more at first, many say that the sensation is similar to using a tampon. Most people say they stop feeling it after a few days but if you continue to do so, it can be a sign that the ring needs to be inserted further into the vagina.
🩸 Periods
Expect lighter, more predictable bleeding after the first few months.
💫 Routine
Insert for three weeks, remove for one, and replace with a new ring right after your period.
