There’s little holes in the sides that help break the seal, normal washing doesn’t tend to clear em so I have a little poky thing for those?

…whoa I have never had mine hurt! But I also always ignored the instructions and shoved it where I could get at it and couldn’t feel it
I could focus on clearing the holes more, maybe, that’s an idea. Mostly my issue is that just can’t get a grip on it high enough, and so I just grab it by the stupid stem thing and yank. It never goes well but at least it goes.
(I’ve never found the instructions to be specific at all, so I’m not sure whether I’m following them or not; mostly they seemed to concern themselves with how to fold it before you put it in, and how to get it to unfold once you had it in. But I mean, I only read the first set, and that was a real long time ago now.)
There is nowhere that I can’t feel it. There’s really only one place it could go, it’s not exactly a cavernous expanse up there– I mean, I get it, it can kind of expand and there are… sort of… spaces between structures, in that region, and so it’s not exactly clear where exactly things are in relation to one another, and they move around too, it’s a complicated topography.
There’s only one place I can put the thing, though, and it’s always in the sameish place (and I get that the place changes over the course of the month because it’s right under the cervix, which moves quite a lot over the course of a regular month, but clearly this is an event that always happens at the same point in the cycle, so when I need it, there it is; I actually think there’s usually more room there at other parts of the cycle which is sort of typical irony really, but that could also be bias because if I’m exploring in there at other points in my cycle it’s because I want to, which clearly is going to give an entirely different cast to the proceedings!!!), and it fits fine there, but I can definitely feel it.
And it doesn’t normally hurt, no, but sometimes (usually) the pressure makes my uterus go into cramps. Mostly that’s the pain I’m talking about. Late in the proceedings, when there’s not a whole lot of flow and everything is sort of tired of being dealt with, then it sometimes hurts just from kind of wear-and-tear, like being pushed on too much. That sucks. Again, it’s not like, an acute pain, but it’s noticeable, and it makes me real cranky.
And sometimes, my vagina just really doesn’t want me to put anything into it. It’s well-behaved enough that it lets me– believe me, I know that could be worse!!–, but it’s really unhappy, and it just feels bad. That, I really hate. But usually the cramps are better by then at least.
(It’s mostly not miserable, I just only complain about the miserable times. And if I got back on my vitamin regimen I might be able to forego the cramps entirely, which would make the whole thing less awful. But that takes daily remembering and I’ve got like, 0 stats in that, so.)
