Mine curled. It never bothered my husband. They game down about half my in my vagina. 3 years never had a problem it was great. If you think their too long, give them a snip. No get your PARTNER to snip them so he can see. Leave enough length for two fingers worth length wise. Think about taking it out, you want enough to grab a hold of because when it comes out whether it's you or a professional. All they are going to do is pull on those strings. No tools, appliances, etc needed. Just a pull. I took mine out 2 weeks ago
