Hmm, I don't know, that sounds like more trouble than just inserting it with your fingers, haha. I've never had any problem getting it in. I just pinch it together to make it as thin as possible. I find it helps to lay down, so its more like you're pushing it back rather than up. Some people kind of twist it into a little figure 8, which I hear works well too. It doesn't have to be in any particular position- just as long as its inside, its working!
