After insertion you should not feel the iud, but you partner may feel the strings, so they might have to be cut a little.
You forget they are there. most are designed to last for several years.

Personal testimony: If you already have had kids, I've it barely hurts. But when I got mine taken out I had this horrible, sharp, sudden cramp that hurt SO bad and then I felt nauseous and like I was about to pass out. I am pretty tolerant with pain, so this was a shock for me. I haven't had kids yet and I am really young, so my uterus and cervix are really small and not as large as someone's who has already had children. So if you've already had kids, I wouldn't worry too much, but I would still recommend asking the nurse to hold your hand.

There are three periods of cramping during insertion of an IUD. Each lasts for less than 30 seconds. After that, the IUD is not painful.

How bad does IUD insertion actually hurt?

IUD insertion pain can vary from person to person. Unfortunately, there is not a great drug to take to make insertion less painful. You can try taking ibuprofen beforehand the insertion and make sure you get the IUD inserted when your cervix is open, such as when you are on your period or ovulating.
