A member asked:
My nuvaring won't pop open inside of me. it's staying in the twisted position i put it in. is it less effective this way? should i put another one in?

You are ok: There is really no wrong way to place nuvarimg inside the vagina. It will work effectively in any position. That being said, if it is uncomfortable, or hurting you, then you may need to remove it or replace it. Wishing you the best in health.
