1. A kit comprising:
insertion device comprising
an elongated sheath having a proximal end and a distal end, a lumen extending between the proximal end and the distal end defining an axis for operation of the insertion device, an elongated inner member having a proximal end and a distal end disposable within the lumen of the elongated sheath, a proximally positioned user interface, wherein the proximally positioned user interface further comprises one or more elongated guides formed at least partially therein and along at least a portion of a length thereof wherein the one or more elongated guides are one or more elongated channels formed in an exterior surface of the proximally positioned user interface, and a moveable sheath slider having a proximal end, a distal end, and a curved surface wherein the moveable sheath slider is configured to move proximally or distally along the axis within the one or more channels formed in the exterior surface of the user interface in communication with the elongated sheath wherein the moveable sheath slider controls axial movement of the elongated sheath along the axis, a string control slider having a curved distal surface for abutting with the curved surface of the moveable sheath slider when the sheath slider is adjacent the string control slider,
and a string aperture positioned proximally on the user interface, wherein the elongated guide further comprises one or more of at least one of soft motion control features along the length of the one or more channels formed in the exterior surface of the user interface wherein the one or more soft motion control features provides tactile feedback to a user when the moveable sheath slider moves from a first position along the length of the one or more channels to a second position along the length of the one or more channels corresponding to a location for a soft motion control; and
an intrauterine device (IUD) positionable within the distal lumen of the elongated sheath.
