This is the #1 question we got asked in our last LaliLetter so to help you out, we\u2019ve put together a list of different folds<\/strong> for you to try.

There is a plethora of different cup folds<\/a> you can choose from; the aim of the game, however, is to find what feels good to you<\/strong>. The fold your best friend swears by may not fit you at all and that is where we come in with our list:<\/p>

\"How<\/figure><\/div>

#1: The C fold<\/a>:<\/strong><\/h3>

You\u2019ve probably heard of this one before as it is the most common <\/strong>of all folds and a definite crowd favourite because you can do it very quickly using one hand<\/strong>. However, it also results in a larger insertion point<\/strong> and may cause some discomfort for beginners.<\/p>

#2: The Punchdown fold<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>

This fold has one of the smallest insertion points<\/strong>. Another advantage of this method is that, when folded correctly, it retains a lot of air <\/strong>so it is easier to “pop open” after insertion. Definitely a beginner-friendly<\/strong> nstrual cup fold (and to be honest, I still use it after years of cup experience).<\/p>

#3: The 7 fold<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>

This cup creates a fairly small point of insertion<\/strong> and also releases a lot easier aka gives you more control <\/strong>over when you want the period cup to pop open. If this is where your struggles lie, then this just might be the technique for you.<\/p>

#4: The Half-diamond fold<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>

I left the most intricate one for last. This fold is admittedly a tad bit trickier<\/strong> and you might not succeed during your first attempts (so it may not be advisable for beginners) but there seem to be a fair number of fans who use it because of the nub that makes the cup easier to pop open.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
