"the insertion for me was painful. on a scale from one to ten it was an eight and a half. my periods were pretty heavy and i kept bleeding for about 5 months straight just light bleeding and spotting until i started my period. which got kind of irritating but i just used a panty liner. so far my boyfriend and i have loved it sometimes he feels the string but not to often. in the last three months i haven&#039;t been spotting at all which has been nice! also i lost weight on this.. every body is different but i was stoked about that! anyways it&#039;s a good one to get i recommend it!"
