May I ask what the pain was from exactly? I just try to keep notes on other women's experiences. This is sort of my pet project to get every woman who can to use one of these things.
The problems I've been aware of are usually leak related - often from inserting it too far and letting it sit too "high" in the vagina so that it moves around and just lets the menstrual fluid flow around it. When I've had pain, it was from pushing it past the muscle at the opening (same during removal), being too dry (preemptive insertion worked best when I wet it first), and from having it sit at an odd angle so that it ground some very delicate outer vaginal tissue into a pulp whenever I sat down. I have never heard of anyone have any pain as though it were hitting their cervix or pushing "out" too much, but I'm wondering if that is what you are experiencing since I know that some women have shorter (more shallow?) vaginas. Again, not to pry to say you're doing it wrong or anything, but I'm just curious about the specifics. Thanks!
