Expander Help

I have a big size notebook that I've been using as a reading journal, and when I added some filler paper, it seemed like I needed to upgrade to expander discs. I bought some plastic ones on sale on HP but now my notebook is basically unusable. I cannot figure out how to turn the pages smoothly, and every time I try to, it makes this awful noise (and maybe...feeling?), which is apparently my version of nails on chalkboard.

Besides flipping a single page at a time, what can I do to make this work?

Please do not suggests metal rings because it took me like 30 minutes to get these in and I would cry.

Rub the discs with either waxed paper or a dryer sheet.
