Ah. Just wondering. Because mine were flush with the opening of the os,
and that resulted in knifelike stabbing pains on my poor husband! I ended
up having it removed (he just used alligator forceps or something to grab
the bit that he could reach) which was no big deal, and Berlex provided
another one for free, so, it all worked out in the end.
