What do I do if my partner can feel the strings from my IUD?

The strings of the IUD usually get softer over time, but if they’re a problem for you or your partner, talk to a health care provider about adjusting them or cutting them shorter.

Still not working?

If the IUD strings still bother your partner after a trim, you can have a new IUD placed and ask them to leave the strings longer (yes, they are actually less noticeable that way) or switch to another method.
