How affective is stripping/ stirring the membranes?

Is there a difference between stripping membranes and stirring them? If so, what?

Also, How many of you have had your membranes stripped/stirred and how effective was it at getting labor started?

One more question, I've heard that after getting your membranes stirred there is a 95% chance that you will go into labor within 3 days. Is that true?

I am 1cm dialated and 70% effaced. Baby's head is "low enough to be felt easily".
