Please help !!! Cup wont "pop"

Ni

Its only my second month using my menstrual cup but im not having much luck with the popping open bit. I've tried different folds but its like i insert it and my fat insides kinda hugs it tightly so it wont "pop" open. Its not always i have managed to get it to do it a couple of times but i have had to give up because of frustration and getting sore poking myself constantly. How do it get it to open once inside of me ? Sorry if its a stupid question but im determined eventually i will be able to use it full time.

EDIT: i think ive sorted it. I managed to get it right after a couple of attempts and i havent touched it in 3 hours and so far no leaks !
