I feel so bad! I obviously need to work on my explanating skills😅 You will want to remove the glider first. The body of the #pixiediscapplicator will have a soft side with an X shape at the opening and a hard side with rhe shape of a triangle. The disc will slide into the firm side. Hope this helps! #discapplicator #tips #peripdtips #menstrualcupapplicator #howtouse #explained #periodprotection💙💙
