I have had the IUD since March 2004 and my husband cannot feel the string at all. The only time the guy would be able to feel the string is if the doctor cut the string too short, which will make the string firmer and it will stick in the head of the penis during penetration. Also, the guy can feel the string if the IUD come loose or shifts. The string is the same as fishing line. (to experience the feel of a string too short, take a piece of fishing line and cut it short then stick your finger to the tip of the string, that's how it would feel to the penis.) When inserting the IUD, the doctor should know what the length of the string should be and he will show you and tell you all about it. (Its actually two strings that's connected to the IUD)
Hope this helps.

I am a nurse and a proud user of Mirena. Well at first it is very likely that your partner will feel the string. And yes the strings are needed in order to remove the IUD safely. However, I have discovered that after a few months of wearing an IUD the string actually ends up coiling around your cervix. Therefore, the strings are out of the way!!!

I have had an IUD for 4 years now & the strings have never been a problem for my husband. If the strings are too long & your partner can feel them, your Dr can trim them down. You have to have the strings so that you can make sure that is in place each month as well as the strings are how your GYN will remove it if you decide to have it taken out.

I had my Mirena strings trimmed twice after I had it inserted. I've had it for 2 years now and all is well.
My periods finally stopped,too! Hooray!
Good luck

You have to have strings or the doctor can't remove it. I've heard they soften over time or you can get them trimmed. But yes I've heard your partner can feel them sometimes.

If the strings are too short they may poke him, otherwise they usually dont feel it
