"i was on the nuvaring for almost 10 years and i had very few problems with it. yes, it feels like putting a jelly bracelet in your hooha once a month. however, i had great skin, short periods (3 days, my back would kill for the first day) and never got a decreased sex drive. i have had issues with certain well endowed partners playing ring toss though, which can be awkward. that is the only reason why i am switching to an iud. overall, a great experience for me."
