First time...

So after researching a ton and watching videos on how to use, I got a small blossom cup. It came today and it's the 3rd day of my period, so I tried to insert it for about 45 mins, but it hurt quite a bit trying to get it in no matter how I folded it or angled. I'm pretty sure I was relaxed and tried a bunch of different positions, idk if it hurt so much cause I'm a virgin or some other reason... anyone else like this, or have any tips please??
