Feedback:
If the ring is removed for 4 hours for any purpose, it should be replaced with a new ring and a form of barrier protection is to be used for the next 7 days. The ring is not removed overnight. The ring is left in place for 3 weeks and then removed for menstruation during the ring-free week. The ring does not need to be removed for intercourse.
