Cleaning your cups at home requires nothing more than a mild, non-scented soap and drinkable water. An old toothbrush may be used when tackling tougher or dried up stains.

How often should you wash your cups?

At least every 12 hours (when in use). Every single time you empty your cup, please do not get tempted to insert it back without properly cleaning it. This will help prevent tough stains and discolorations from appearing on your cup.

There are several soaps designed specifically for washing menstrual cups, feel free to purchase one if you wish.

Should I boil my cups?

Boiling your cups isn’t absolutely necessary but some people opt for it as not only a cleaning method but a sterilization technique. If you wash your cups properly after every use, boiling them won’t be necessary. However, if you have recently treated or dealt with a vaginal infection, boiling your cups would not be a bad idea. (Please ensure you get adequate treatment from your gynecologist or GP for any infection or if you ever have suspicious vaginal discharge or other unusual symptoms).

How to boil my cup

Place your already washed cup inside a metal whisk and place the whisk into boiling water for a minute or two. Bring out your cup(s) and rinse with drinkable water.
