When inserted properly, you shouldn't be able to feel Flex Disc at all. Discomfort is likely caused by the disc not being inserted quite right.
The first we suggest is finding where your cervix is. You can try to feel your cervix by inserting a clean finger into the vaginal canal and bearing down on your pelvic muscles; you should feel a smooth tiny circle (it kind of feels like puckered lips.) 😗
This will give you a better sense of where your disc will sit and how far back it will need to be inserted. Just make sure that you're completely seated or squatting as this will move the cervix closer to the vaginal opening.
We recommend sitting over a toilet to insert the disc, but some users find that being in a squatting position or standing with a foot elevated on the toilet seat/edge of the tub is more helpful for insertion as they find it easier to feel their pubic bone and push the rim up. We have also heard from customers that doing a kegel-like muscle movement while inserting can be helpful for placement.
Another good one is inserting Flex Disc in a full, bum-to-floor squat. Or if you have a squatty potty, you can simulate a squat while sitting on the toilet. Both positions are great openers and make inserting the disc a little more accessible. However, please feel free to play around with positioning until you find one that is right for you!
From there, pinch the disc and as you insert it, making sure you are pushing the edge that goes in first DOWN toward the floor so that it sits at an angle and fully covers the cervix. Then make sure the front edge (that goes in last) is tucked above your pubic bone and pushed past it as far as it can go. Down and back is key!
Essentially the disc should sit wrapped beneath your cervix like a shower cap.

Everyone's anatomy is different, so it can definitely take some time to get the hang of using the disc, so don't be afraid to take your time to figure out how Flex Disc works for you.
