My boyfriend felt my strings once soon after I had the IUD inserted. He said that it didn't hurt but it wasn't exactly pleasant. The strings quickly nestled into my body and he hasn't mentioned anything since then.

I have only had my IUD for about a month but so far no complaints from the BF about anything up there, and he would say something if he felt them, believe me.

I've only had my IUD (Mirena) for a month. I answered "rarely" b/c the first week or 2 SO did get poked (as did I). Since then there really hasn't been a problem and my strings are quite long.

When I first got the Mirena my midwife left my strings on the long side so that the IUD could position itself(better too long than too short). My husband could feel them & it was uncomfortable for him. At my follow up visit she checked my strings again, seen that they were too long & trimmed them down to about 1/4 inch left outside my cervix. I have a lip over my cervix so it covers the strings now & my hubby no longer feels them. I am very happy with the Mirena & would definately recommend it.
