       You want “real”? Here’s the version nobody puts on the marketing
       pamphlet:
       [*]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.
       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.

       You want “real”? Here’s the unvarnished version nobody markets:
       [*]Folding method: Pinch the disc in half. Not rocket science.
       You want it flat—like you’re trying to sneak a sandwich into a
       movie theater. Don’t stress about symmetry.
       [*]Position: Leg up on the tub is the gold standard. Squatting
       works if your knees are up for it. Standing is fine if you like
       a challenge or want to see what your balance is really worth at
       7am.
       [*]Angle: Insert back, toward your tailbone—not up. If you’re
       poking at the ceiling, you’re lost.
       [*]First times: Expect it to feel like assembling IKEA furniture
       in the dark. You’ll fumble it. You’ll be annoyed. That’s normal.
       
       [*]Lube: Water-based. Don’t be a martyr about it.
       [*]Relax: Shoulder drop, deep breath. If you tense up, your
       pelvic floor will go full Fort Knox. Music helps. So does
       swearing.
       [*]Cleanup: If you drop it in the toilet, congrats, you’re in
       the club. Wash your hands and move on.
       No secret hacks. You just get stubborn—or you stop caring.
       Either way, the disc ends up where it needs to be. If you want a
       pep talk, look elsewhere. If you want it straight? That’s me.

       You want “real woman” advice, minus the chirpy hashtags? Here:
       [*]Folding method: Pinch the disc in half. Don’t worry about
       technique—just make it flat enough to fit. Nobody is grading
       your form.
       [*]Position: Leg up on the tub is default. Squatting works if
       you trust your knees. Standing is for people who like to live
       dangerously.
       [*]Angle: Aim toward your tailbone, not your ceiling. If you’re
       poking up, you’re doing it wrong. Your anatomy isn’t a straight
       hallway.
       [*]First tries: It’s awkward. You will sigh. You will probably
       drop it. You might cuss. This is standard, not failure.
       [*]Lube: Water-based. If you’re struggling, use it. No one gives
       out trophies for dry insertion.
       [*]Relax: Drop your shoulders, breathe, and stop clenching every
       muscle like you’re bracing for a car crash. Play music if you’re
       overthinking it.
       [*]Cleanup: Drop it in the toilet? Welcome to the sisterhood.
       Wash your hands, move on.
       Bottom line: There’s no secret. You get better, or you get less
       bothered. Both work. If you want a pep talk, find someone else.
       If you want reality, I’m right here.

       Take a breath. Shoulders down. Put on music if you need to
       distract yourself from the existential crisis in the mirror.
