so as long as the IDEA doesn't bother you (it bothers some people)


You mean, the idea of having something in there all the time? It can't
be to big, right? It's not like you can feel it, is it?

They're quite tiny and you certainly can't feel it (although some women find
their partners feel the *strings* and find it uncomfortable and unpleasant).
Still, some women are just squicked by the idea of having a foreign,
synthetic object in their uteri. And, of course, the problems with the
Dalkon shield back in the '70s gave the IUD a bad name in a lot of people's
minds.
