Can the ring get lost in my vagina?
No. The vagina is a closed pouch and doesn’t connect to the rest of the body, so things in the vagina (other than very small things like semen and bacteria) can’t travel to another part of the body. There is no place for a tampon or a ring to go—they just sit right where you put them.
