They're a little "rougher," so yes, they can hurt if you're not used to them.
Try non-applicator types if you're environmentally conscious. They seem weird at first, but after a couple of times, it's really easy and not a big deal at all.

I additionally stumbled on that those with the plastic applicator do no longer artwork besides. I leaked every time I had to apply one. actually. it would desire to be via fact I extremely have a tilted cervix, yet all of us's opinion and physique is different.

I have always thought that carboard hurts. I prefer plastic ( i think it may be smoother)
