When I stand up with my internal condom in, it sticks out a little. How can I stop it from doing that?
My internal condom sticks out when I stand up.
Fun fact: You can insert the internal condom hours before having sex. Not-so-fun fact: if you stand up with it in, the internal condom will hang slightly out of the vagina. The part that sticks out helps the internal condom stay in place and helps protect you from skin-to-skin transmission of STIs. If you want to insert it early, you might want to try wearing a snug pair of underwear when out and about to hold the external part of the condom closer to your body if it bothers you.
