How do I fold elio bottle?

Folding elio is simple and intuitive with its unique 360-degree twisting mechanism: Hold the bottle upright with one hand on the base and the other on the cap. Gently twist the cap counterclockwise (like unscrewing) while pushing down on the body—this compresses the silicone accordion-style in a smooth spiral motion. It collapses to 1.28 inches (3.25 cm) tall in seconds. To expand, reverse the twist: Hold the base steady and twist the cap clockwise while pulling up. Avoid over-twisting to preserve the mechanism's durability (rated for 10,000+ cycles). Check out our videos on the website for a visual guide!
