Discomfort when using disc. Am I doing something wrong?
I am a first time disc user. I ordered the hello disc after seeing many positive reviews and taking the peroid nivana quiz.
I tried it for the first time on the first day of my cycle. I inserted it and tucked it in behind my pelvic bone. I was only able to keep it in for about an hour before removing it due to discomfort. I did remove and re-insert the disc once during this time frame to see if I may have inserted it incorrectly the first time.
The discomfort and pain were gone once I removed it and switched to a pad. The discomfort felt like a constant dull cramp which I never usually have on my periods. I also felt a stronger level of a painful cramping like feeling during and shortly after removing the disc.
I am wondering if I am not inserting it correctly? Or is it possibly too large or frim?
Thank you for any helpful insights!
