Wrong insertion?

Hi everyone,

I really want to switch to reusable menstrual products for both cost and environmental reasons, but I’ve been struggling and I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if my body just isn’t tolerating it well.

I’ve tried menstrual cups and discs before, and I couldn’t even get them in properly. Recently I got the Pixie applicator to make things easier, but now I’m running into a different issue. Every time I try to insert it, I get really nauseous and this heavy, almost dropping feeling in my stomach.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a sign I’m just inserting it wrong?
