"i&#039;ve been using nr for 6 years.. i love it. i&#039;ve tried yaz and some other types of pills hated that you had to take them at the same time each day. this is much more convenient.. i get my period right on time and then take it out . . simple. it doesn&#039;t do anything different to me such as acne or weight gain. but that depends on the person more than the contraceptive .. the best way to put it in ... use a tampon applicator ( take out the tampon) place the ring in the applicator (bend the ring) and put it in as if it was a tampon. i&#039;ve heard of it coming out during sex but i&#039;ve never experienced this nor have i ever had it slip out or go missing. highly recommended:) :) unfortunately it is pricey however. :("
