What if the ring falls out?
Most women find that the ring is comfortable and do not experience problems, but the ring may slip out, for example, when you remove a tampon. If it has been less than 3 hours since the ring fell out rinse it with cool to luke-warm water and reinsert immediately so that you are still protected from pregnancy. If it has been longer than 3 hours since the ring fell out, rinse and re-insert as above. The ring should stay in place for the next 7 days and during this time you should use an extra method of birth control such as a condom.
