If any of you ladies are thinking about starting or switching birth control, i highly recommend nuvaring! i love it. my periods are like 4 days long and honestly i could probably get away with only using pantiliners (i'm too paranoid so i use pads anyway, but still). my boyfriend has never complained about it being there during sex. but i will say, sometimes if i'm taking a long time sitting on the toilet i can feel it shift a little bit when i stand up. but it's not too bad.
