Menstrual Cups Insertion

Hey guys! So I recently bought a menstrual cup and I’m curious about other people experiences inserting it. I’m a virgin and haven’t ever put anything up my vagina other than a tampon before this. The first few times I’ve put it in it feels like there is a painful barrier I have to get past them it just kinda slides into place all in its own. Do other people have this problem? Should I try inserting from another angle or something to avoid this pain?
