Agreed!
Though like the tit I am I pulled mine out by mistake when I was wasted. I mistook the threads for a tampon string. It didn't hurt at the time as I was away with the faeries but the deep inside pain the next day was unsettling. To make it worse I had to get yet another one rammed into me (my 3rd ffs). It is quite painful as I have never given birth and synthetic hormones make me go funny so it is a copper IUD. The only way I can deal with the horrors of having these in and out of me is looking at the pain as a pay off for not getting pregnant, and that makes it totally worth it.

For me the pain of indignity makes the physical hurt pale into insignificance in exposed vag situations. If the same pain was applied to my hand I would probably not cope so well :(

I would say though ladies, don't be put off by horror stories. Unlike the rod and the injection most of my mates have had minimal problems with coils after they are inserted. It could just be the women I know but the coil seems to be an overall winner...and it lasts for ages :)
