How To Fold A Menstrual Cup: The ‘7’ Menstrual Cup Fold
The '7' fold is one of the easiest folds available. Let's investigate the pro's and con's of this fold.
Pros
The pros of using the '7' fold include:
- Good for beginners – if you're just starting out, this fold is one of the easiest ones to do.
- Folds over for easy insertion – simply fold the cup over to form the number 7 shape.
- Not complicated – unlike other folds that require you to manipulate the cup into a tricky shape, the '7' fold is very straightforward.
- Narrow entry point once folded into a number 7 shape.
- Good starting point to manipulate the cup into other shapes, including the double 7 fold and origami fold.
Cons
- Wider midpoint – some women may find the middle of the cup larger and not as compact as the entry point.
- Possible sealing issues – some women report this fold may not fully open up and could cause leaking issues.
