Highly recommend looking into those period discs. I don't care for the diva cups but the flex discs are far more tolerable than those imo. I cannot do a tampon to save my life but in a pinch, the discs are helpful to keep one or two somewhere accessible. I usually prefer pads (ok, I prefer no period but after having kids even my tried and true Nexplanon didn't stop periods) too but these are a nice "pads aren't practical l" (i.e. swimming or forgot underwear!) alternative.

It often hits the cervix because of it's placement. The cervix is very sensitive. The pressure and dryness of the tampon can cause pain. Pain can cause dizziness.

edit: actually it doesn't even need to hit the cervix to be painful, just an object being in a place that isn't used objects being there can be enough.

Ok here’s a little banjo story for you. I’m female and during rough sex my partner snapped his banjo string. Blood everywhere. Ended up going to hospital and they… didn’t do anything. At all. Said it happens so so often - it’s an incredibly frequent injury - and there’s nothing they can do, it just sorts itself out. They were right! It healed, very fast, he had stubby ends for a while and they just got smaller and he can pull himself back much further than he used to be able too but that’s it. His is completely snapped and to be honest it’s much easier. We laugh about it now! So even if you do manage to snap it, completely, don’t worry! It happens - a lot - and it’s totally normal. Just try not to get it stuck next time!

Very similar wind up and story with my ex... Except when I threw her onto the bed, I yeeted her from one side of the bed to the other and she hit the headboard. Later that week I attended her funer- jkjk she was fine but she passed out for a bit and I thought I murdered my gf at the time. My Google searches were enough to get me on a watchlist that day 😅 silly teenage me.
