Menstrual cup help?

So I’ve seen a lot of people on here saying about using a cup. I’ve only ever worn a tampon a few times and don’t like the feeling of it but I’m not 100% sure I’ve been putting it in right. Just wondering if a cup feels the same or if it’s better or worse? And how do you put it in? I literally hate the feeling of a wet pad, I dread my period every month 😩😩 I’ve never heard of anyone using one in my family or friends, just wondering are they not so popular in England?
