It hurts but it’s a different type of pain, a warm compress helps and holding onto someone’s hand. The pain is dull like not exactly stabbing but it’s a lot of pressure that feels super weird, like a feeling I’ve never felt before. But it’s def worth it especially compared to the pill imo

the worst part is the sharp pain from the little grabby thing that pierces your cervix slightly so they can get it, its only a few seconds and trust the reassurance in knowing its one of the most affective forms of bc is 100% worth. take some advil/pain relief 30 minutes before !!

oh also, make sure they leave the strings long enough so you can actually wrap them around your cervix, tif they’re too short they can get kinda pokey
