摘要：
A method of folding a plurality of flexible elements about a central fluid storage element includes of urging an intravaginal device into a folding device imparting relative rotation between at least a portion of the folding device and the intravaginal device and contacting the plurality of flexible extensions with the folding device. Wherein the intravaginal device includes a fluid storage element and a plurality of flexible extensions extending therefrom, and the flexible extensions are folded about the fluid storage element in a uniform direction. Alternatively, in place of relative rotation, the flexible extensions are folded by means of guide rails of the folding device. Several apparatus may be employed in this and related methods.
