Is the internal condom hard to insert?

I think it's hard to insert.

Oct 29, 2018

Inserting an internal condom should get easier the more you do it. You should try practicing when it’s not the heat of the moment.

Still not working?

If it doesn’t get any easier to insert and you’re concerned about STIs, go with male condoms instead.

If STI protection is not a concern for you right now, you might want to move toward contraception that doesn’t require you to insert anything. The IUD and the implant are both inserted in a clinic.
