Practice using all folds to find which one works best for you, as each fold guides and positions the cup differently. When inserting your cup, you need to hold your cup folded until it is inside of your vagina – this can take some practice. 

The C fold

Hold your Lena Cup with two hands right below the rim and squeeze tightly. While squeezing the cup, fold it in towards you and into a C-shape. Hold your Lena Cup in this position and insert.

The 7 fold

Hold your Lena Cup with two hands right below the rim and squeeze tightly. Fold the right side in and into a 7-shape. Hold your Lena Cup in this position and insert.

Punch-down fold

Hold your Lena Cup lightly with one hand. Using your free hand's index finger, punch down any side of the cup. Remove finger. Hold your Lena Cup in this position and insert.

Origami fold

Hold your Lena Cup with both hands. Using your right thumb, punch down one side of the cup. Using your left thumb, fold the other side of the cup over the original fold. Hold your Lena Cup in this position and insert.

Diamond fold
