Is my partner supposed to feel the inner ring of the internal condom?

My partner says he can feel the inside ring.

If your partner can feel the inner ring, you may not have it pushed far enough into your vagina. So try pushing it in a little farther.

Still not working?

Switch to using condoms. They’ll protect you from STIs as well.

If STI protection isn’t a concern for you right now, you might want to move toward a non-barrier method that your partner won’t be able to feel. The shot and the implant are both really effective and your partner won’t feel anything but you during sex.
