An Introduction to the Blossom Cup

The Blossom period cup is new to the menstrual cup scene, but it’s quickly become one of the more popular cups. People love the affordable price and the fact that it’s made in the USA from medical grade silicone.

Beyond that, there are 12 fun colours to choose from, and a 90-day, money-back guarantee. What’s not to love?

How to Use the Blossom Period Cup

The company gives a few simple steps for using your Blossom Cup: Folding, Inserting and Removing. But, before you get started, you should wash the cup with a mild soap and water, as well as your hands. Rinse well.

We’ll give more details about folding the Blossom Cup below.

How to Fold the Blossom Cup 

You might notice that there are three different folds that the company recommends. Why are there three, and not one?

Different folds work better for different people. If you try the C-Fold for example, but find that the Blossom Period cup doesn’t open easily inside you, try the 7-Fold. And so on. Every body shape is different, so it really just depends on you.

Pros:

  • Ideal for beginners as it’s one of the easiest ones
  • Easy to insert
  • Usually opens quite easily once inside of you
  • No complicated steps or techniques required

Cons:

  • Not as compact as other folds and may be difficult for people with smaller vaginal openings
  • Some people find that it doesn’t open that easily and they have to wiggle it around a little bit.

Menstrual Cup—7 Fold

Here’s how you do the seven fold:

  • Pinch the cup closed
  • Bring one side down to the other, making a seven

There are a lot of ways to achieve this and you shouldn’t worry too much about doing it the exact right way.

There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to this fold.

Pros:

  • Very small point of insertion, similar to the punch-down fold
  • Usually pops open easily.
