Your stomach contains hydrochloric corrosive however you don't feel any consuming sensation since stomach has a layer of bodily fluid which keeps it from destructive nature of HCL.

Because of bodily fluid discharged by parietal cells show in our stomach divider which go about as a boundary amongst stomach and the HCl.

The reason behind you are not feeling the burning sensation in your stomach despite of HCL presence is just because of the Mucous secretion.

Mucous is secreted at the gastric pits and enters the stomach to form a protective cover over the walls of the stomach. Mucous are mostly made of bicarbonate ions that has the ability to act against the gastric juice like HCL.  

The mucous that you swallow becomes a protective chemical barrier in your stomach to protect you from HCL and its burning sensation.
