Slight pain with disc

I’m having an issue with pain with my disc. I finally found a disc that worked great for me in between pregnancies (hello disc). after my second baby, I’ve been having trouble - it slips down when I sit on the toilet and kind of pokes out the front. it does not go back on its own, I have to shove it back up or reinsert (which is a pain in the ass).

I’ve been able to check that my cervix is in fact inside the disc and not touching the rim. I have no issues with leaking. my cervix is pretty far back. like I thought it was high for a long time, until I realized I can find it pretty easily if I run my finger along the back side of my vaginal canal.

It seems like my cervix is angled into the back of the vaginal fornix rather than being in the middle pointing into my vaginal canal. it’s like there is barely any space between my cervix and the fornix.

so basically, even if the rim isn’t touching my cervix, it seems like the “bowl” of the disc always is. I’m wondering if that is where the pain is coming from.

i ordered a couple different discs to try - Cora perfect fit, which is a slightly smaller diameter; and the Flex disposable, which is a slightly larger diameter and the rim is firmer- but I’m hoping the disposable material of the ”bowl” will be less bothersome.

I’m wondering if anyone who is super well versed in the anatomy might have some idea what is going on. or if anyone can relate and has found something that helps.
