How to Clean a Period Cup
- Rinse Regularly: Rinse your menstrual cup in cold water after each use to remove any menstrual fluid. Cold water helps prevent staining and odours better than warm water initially.
- Wash with Soap: After rinsing, wash the cup with mild, unscented soap and warm water. Be sure to thoroughly clean the holes near the rim of the cup as well, as blood can get trapped there.
- Sterilise Between Cycles: Before the first use of each cycle, sterilize your cup. You can do this by boiling it in a pot of water for 3-5 minutes. Make sure the cup does not touch the bottom of the pot to avoid damage. Some prefer using a dedicated pot for this purpose.
- Dry Completely: After washing and sterilising, let your cup dry completely before storing it away. This helps maintain the material integrity and cleanliness.
- Store Properly: Store your menstrual cup in a breathable fabric bag (not plastic) to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup. This helps keep your cup dry and hygienic.
- Handle with Clean Hands: Always wash your hands with soap and water before inserting or removing your menstrual cup.
- Inspect Regularly: Regularly inspect your cup for signs of deterioration, such as a sticky or powdery film, severe discoloration, or odor. If you notice any of these changes, it may be time to replace your cup.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh cleaners, oils, or scented substances to clean your cup. These can damage the silicone and may be harmful to your health.
- Consider a Cup Wash: Some brands offer specific menstrual cup cleansers that are designed to be gentle on the silicone while effectively cleaning the cup.
- Refresh with Vinegar or Lemon Juice: If your cup develops an odour or extra stubborn stains, you can soak it in a solution of diluted vinegar or lemon juice for an hour. Rinse thoroughly afterward.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your menstrual cup remains a safe, hygienic, and effective menstrual care product for years to come.
