How do I insert a Diva Cup?

A female age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am going on a camping trip next week and I am supposed to have my period so I decided that I would try out the Diva Cup... So that I could reuse it instead of having to change tampons. But I decided I should try it out to make sure I can insert it correctly before I get there and I can't seem to get it in. I am a virgin so I don't know if my vagina may be too small for it to fit in or if I am just not doing it correctly. I tried to fold it like it recommended in the instructions and I have tried standing in a variety of positions but it hurts me when I try to push it in... Has anyone used this before and has a suggestion of the best way to do this?
