Can Estring be put in wrong?
The exact position of Estring is not critical, as long as it’s in the upper third of the vagina. Don’t worry, there’s no chance of Estring being pushed too far up or getting lost. When Estring is in place, you shouldn’t feel anything. If you feel discomfort, it’s probably just not far enough inside.
