There are several folds that can be used to insert the Venus Cup. Some are easier to accomplish and hold, while others create a smaller insertion point, or help get a difficult cup to open. Below are some of the more common folds.
“C” Fold – One of the most common and easiest folds to do, but may have a large or bulky insertion point.
“Punchdown” Fold – Another very common fold but with a smaller insertion point.  This fold also allows the user to pinch the base of the cup and “bump” the rim so that unfolds.
“7” Fold – This fold leaves a larger insertion point, but allows the user to insert a finger under the folded rim to help nudge it open.
“Triangle” Fold – The “Triangle” fold is similar to the “7” fold but creates a smaller insertion point.
“Labia” Fold – This fold is a little tricky to get the hang of at first, but is one of the folds that people may turn to for difficult cups.  The insertion point is fairly narrow and this fold allows the user to insert a finger to nudge the rim open.
