How Do I Know If I'm Touching My Cervix?

With your palm facing up, guide your longest finger carefully into your vagina (lube can come in handy here). Feel for a round, raised circle with a dimple in the middle — it's most likely to be at the top of the front vaginal wall (closer to your belly button than to your back) (1, 5).

What should your cervix feel like when you touch it?

While your vagina has a sort of spongy feel that gives way to pressure, the cervix is like a firm, round dimple. If you're not close to ovulation, you should find your cervix easily. If you are ovulating, your cervix may be higher in your body, softer, and more difficult to reach.

Can you touch your finger with cervix?

The term is technically incorrect — it's not possible for a penis, finger, or similarly shaped object to penetrate the cervix. The cervix is the neck of the uterus, located at the top of the vagina. It has a small opening to allow semen to enter the uterus and to allow menstrual blood to leave the uterus.
