Struggling with new disc

Hello everyone! I recently decided to try a menstrual disc for the first time, and did a bunch of research to pick the right one, but I’m really struggling to be comfortable while using one.

I chose a menstrual disc over a cup because I was scared of suction and read that it tends to be less prone to spillages. I got the hello disc because it seemed generally recommended, especially for a high cervix which I seem to have- couldn’t even find it.

I’ve tried inserting a few times, folding it in half and using lube, but no matter what I feel pretty uncomfortable with it in. It’ll be fine when I stand but really hurt when I sit, and I can only keep it in for a few minutes.

Idk if maybe I’m not pushing it high enough but I feel like I can’t push it higher???

Does anyone have recommendations for what I might be doing wrong? Should I try a different disc or maybe discs aren’t for me? Thanks!

Edit: OHHHHH MY GOD I DID IT!!!! I tried in the flipped position and gave it a couple of extra shoves and I can’t feel it!!!!!! Thank you all for all the suggestions, they were all really helpful!!!
