Folds and goldilocks!

[kylexmajus]

Hi, everyone! I'm a completely new poster here and so excited to finally join the community! I've been lingering around for a year or two and I've learned so much from all your posts! A little background on me: I'm 19 (almost 20) years old, in college, and I think I've found my "goldilocks" cup! I first started with the small Lady cup, then

Hello! I'm glad you've got the hang of the C fold and the Punch Down fold. I think those two are the best and most commonly used

Since you do not use your small Ladycup any more, what if a sighted friend were to use that to demonstrate the folds from sites with photos? Or, if you're both comfortable with her touching your active LUB, use that instead

She's completely blind. Pictures won't help.

But the sighted friend who I recommended help her is not.

Diamond fold and half-diamond fold

Think about the punch down fold. You fold the rim into the cup.

For the diamond fold, you fold the rim that same way, but on the outside of the cup. The outside of the cup folds back on itself. Make the top of the rim touch the base of the cup. Keep holding the rim against the base. Flatten the edges of the rim where the fold starts. Flatten the whole cup. It forms a diamond shape.

Half diamond fold. Take the cup folded as a diamond. If you hold the base and rim with your left hand, use your right hand to feel for the right and left tips of the diamond, where the rim is folded. Fold the two tips together and up, so that they touch. Now you can release the rim and base. Hold the cup by the tips to insert it. This is a good fold for soft cups because it makes them springy. It might help you open your cup.
