Using a subsea fluid storage system 1 comprising a soft bladder (20) disposed within a pressure balanced reservoir (10), a rotatable piston (30) disposed at least partially within the pressure balanced reservoir where a top of the soft bladder is in communication with the rotatable piston, and a piston rotator (50) operative to rotate and twist the rotatable piston as the rotatable piston travels along a predetermined axis within the pressure balanced reservoir, a predictable and repeatable collapse of the soft bladder may be obtained by allowing the rotating piston (30) to cooperatively travel about the piston rotator (50) to twist the soft bladder (20) as the rotating piston moves along the predetermined axis in such a manner as to collapse the bladder inward, thereby emptying the bladder of fluid within the bladder. The rotation of the piston pulls the soft bladder away from an interior of the pressure balanced reservoir, thereby preventing binding or pinching of the bladder with respect to the interior of the pressure balanced reservoir. In configurations, fluid is allowed to enter the pressure balanced reservoir via a valve (54) until a balance is achieved between an interior and an exterior of the pressure balanced reservoir.
