Menstrual cup difficulties and a virgin

Sequoyah

This might be long....

Okay so I purchased a diva cup model 1 a day ago. I tried to insert it multiple times and I ran into a couple of problems.

1) When I’m inserting, I’m feeling like I’m pushing up against my walls roughly and that hurts. Was or is this a problem for any of you? If so, what should I do?

2) I feel like I have a high cervix because I measured with my finger (on my period) and like I inserted my whole index finger and I still can’t feel no cervix (My finger is pretty short tho).

3) I’m too scared to let it go all the way in because of the fear of pain. What should I do about that? Did y’all have to just push through the pain? (Of course there’s a limit of pain you should be feeling but my pain is never to the point to make me cry so I feel like it’s fine.) I use the “Punch-Down” fold.

Plus, it’s taking to long to get to the cervix opening which makes me anxious so I just pull it out. I be feeling like it’ll never get to the part where it pops open.

This probably was all over the place but I really need help with all 3 problems and if you can, please share you’re experiences and encouragement.
