How to stifle correctly?

[Nekomancer]

Basically the title, whenever I stifle it hurts a little bit? Probably cause I just shove my knuckles into my nose lol. So I was wondering what's the correct way to stifle? Can someone give me instructions? Also does anyone know ways to change how it sounds? Like could I make it louder or quieter if I did different things? Thanks for any advice!

I hate doing it these days but back when I was younger and embarrassed to sneeze I would pinch my nose between thumb and forefinger while trying to hold it back internally at the same time. 

 

Nowadays I couldn't care less who hears me sneeze and don't even cover half the time

I bring my tongue to the roof of my mouth and kind of force my mouth closed. Sneezing really is just inhaling air, I feel like the less air you inhale the easier it is to stifle.

In my opinion it's a free fer all when it comes to a stifle what ever means nessary to "attempt" a stifle
