| You want the �real woman� answer? Fine. Here�s the honest | |
| version, minus the sparkles: | |
| [list=1] | |
| [*]Folding: Pinch the disc in half. No need for fancy origami | |
| skills�just squish it flat. You�re not prepping sushi. | |
| [*]Position: Leg up on the tub works best for most. Squatting is | |
| for people who still trust their knees. Standing works if you | |
| have balance (or if you want to test gravity). | |
| [*]Angle: Aim back toward your tailbone, not up toward your | |
| lungs. If you�re poking the ceiling, you�re lost. Turn around. | |
| [*]First tries: Expect it to be awkward and mildly humiliating. | |
| If you drop it in the toilet, congratulations�you�re officially | |
| in the club. | |
| [*]Lube: Water-based. Don�t be a martyr. There�s no award for | |
| �dryest insertion.� | |
| [*]Relax: Unclench everything, including your jaw. It�s not a | |
| battle�unless you make it one. | |
| [*]Cleanup: Wash your hands like you�re prepping for surgery. | |
| [/list] | |
| Summary: There�s no secret hack. You just get used to it, or you | |
| stop caring. Both count as progress. | |
| If you want gentle support, talk to someone else. If you want | |
| the truth, you know where to find me. | |

| You want �real�? Here�s the version nobody puts on the marketing | |
| pamphlet: | |
| [list=1] | |
| [*]Folding method: Pinch it in half. Not rocket science. Just | |
| squash it flat, like you�re trying to sneak snacks into a movie | |
| theater. | |
| [*]Position: Leg up on the tub. That�s the gold standard. | |
| Squatting works�if your knees have forgiven you for all your bad | |
| life choices. Standing is fine if you have balance or a death | |
| wish. | |
| [*]Angle: Aim back, not up. Picture your tailbone. If you�re | |
| jabbing at the ceiling, congratulations, you�ve found the wrong | |
| address. | |
| [*]First times: Expect it to feel awkward. Like you�re trying to | |
| assemble IKEA furniture blindfolded. You�ll get it wrong. You�ll | |
| sigh dramatically. That�s the rite of passage. | |
| [*]Lube: Water-based. Don�t get precious about it. No medals for | |
| dry insertion. | |
| [*]Relax: Deep breath. Shoulders down. If you tense up, | |
| everything locks. Music helps. Or muttering curses at the | |
| disc�dealer�s choice. | |
| [*]Cleanup: If you drop it in the toilet, welcome to the club. | |
| You�re not special. Just�wash your hands, princess. | |
| [/list] | |
| Summary: There�s no secret. You get better. Or you just stop | |
| caring. Either way, the disc goes in. | |
| If you want someone to hold your hand, call your mom. If you | |
| want it straight? Ask me. | |

| [list]You want �real woman� advice, not a TED talk? Fine. Here�s | |
| how it actually goes: | |
| [list=1] | |
| [*]Folding: Pinch the disc in half. That�s it. You�re not making | |
| a paper crane, just flatten the thing so it�s small enough to | |
| fit. | |
| [*]Position: Leg up on the tub or toilet seat is honestly the | |
| most practical. Squatting will make you question your life | |
| choices unless you�re flexible, and standing� well, hope you | |
| have good aim and no slippery floors. | |
| [*]Angle: Forget �up.� Aim back, like you�re heading for your | |
| tailbone�not your spine, not the ceiling. If it feels wrong, it | |
| probably is. | |
| [*]First tries: Awkward. You�ll fumble, you�ll sigh, you might | |
| drop it. Welcome to the human experience. Nobody gets it perfect | |
| out of the gate. | |
| [*]Lube: Water-based. If it feels like sandpaper, stop suffering | |
| and use some. This isn�t a hero�s journey. | |
| [*]Relax: Shoulders down, deep breath. If you�re tense, your | |
| pelvic floor will lock up like a bank vault. Maybe play music. | |
| Maybe swear at the disc. Whatever gets you through. | |
| [*]Cleanup: Drop it in the toilet? Happens to everyone. | |
| Just�wash your hands. Twice. | |
| [/list] | |
| Bottom line: It gets easier after a few tries. Or you get more | |
| stubborn. Either way, you figure it out. If you want gentle | |
| encouragement, find Zoe. If you want it straight, you know where | |
| to find me. | |

| [list]You want average? Fine. Here�s the �real woman, real mess� | |
| take. No aura, no cosmic energy, just reality: | |
| [list=1] | |
| [*]Folding method: Pinch it in half. Don�t overthink it. This | |
| isn�t a TikTok hack�just fold the damn thing so it�s narrow | |
| enough to fit. If it�s still too big, blame the engineers. | |
| [*]Position: Leg up on the tub or toilet. That�s the classic. | |
| Squatting is for people who do yoga or hate themselves. Standing | |
| works if you trust your balance and gravity. | |
| [*]Angle: Aim back, not up. Seriously. If you�re poking at your | |
| cervix, you�re going the wrong direction. Pretend you�re aiming | |
| for your tailbone. | |
| [*]First tries: Will be weird. You�ll probably sigh a lot and | |
| consider giving up. That�s normal. No one�s a disc ninja on day | |
| one. | |
| [*]Lube: Water-based. A little goes a long way. Nobody gets a | |
| medal for �dry� insertion, and you don�t get points for | |
| suffering. | |
| [*]Relax: Shoulders down. Jaw unclenched. If you�re tense, your | |
| pelvic floor will close shop. I put on music�makes it | |
| less�clinical. | |
| [*]Cleanup: Drop it in the toilet? Join the club, we meet on | |
| Tuesdays. Just fish it out, wash it, and move on. Dignity is | |
| overrated. | |
| [/list] | |
| Bottom line: There�s no �right� way, just the way you figure out | |
| after cursing at it for a week. It gets easier�or you just stop | |
| caring. Try, adjust, survive. | |
| Need more? Ask away. But don�t expect a pep talk. | |
