"i&#039;ve had paragaurd for over 4 months now and i really like it. insertion was a breeze. i have two kids so that might have helped a bit. i was told to take motrin before i had it done too. the whole process lasted all but 3 minutes. literally! my cycle has been pretty much on time. periods are a bit heavier but nothing i can&#039;t handle. my husband cannot feel the strings at all and i check them after my period ends. i really forget that it&#039;s even there. no problems and i love that it&#039;s hormone free. so far so good"
