Most stains and discolorations on Talisi cups can be removed and should not be an indication that it’s time to change your cup. What discolorations and long-term accumulation of dirt and debris on your cup do is that they predispose your cup to hardening, cuts and leakages.

 

Why do improperly cleaned cups leak?

If you look closely at Talisi menstrual cups, you will notice some holes. These holes are very useful and should not be left clogged. They serve to create the suction seal that holds your cups exactly where you want them in your vaginal canal. When one or several of these holes become clogged, an adequate suction seal would not be created, and leakages would be noticed.

 

 

To get rid of tough stains, try doing the following.

 

-              Using a mild water-based soap and a toothbrush or mildly abrasive cloth, gently rub against the discoloration until it comes off.

-              Please use only scent-free soaps and those that aren’t harsh.

-              Boiling the cups can eliminate tough stains as well. (See above for how to boil your cups.)

-              Some people recommend using 3% hydrogen peroxide on your cups. Please note that even though this is highly effective, soaking your menstrual cup overnight or for several hours in hydrogen peroxide, weakens your cup over time. This would eventually result in a clean looking but weaker cup that would not last you as many years as Talisi cups are known to last.

 

 

Please note that discolorations are very common in menstrual cups, so do not be too surprised if you try everything to prevent them but still discover one or two tough spots on your cup. To prevent discolorations from happening, ensure you take the time to wash your cups every time. The key isn’t to scrub hard but wash properly, making sure to properly clean every nook and cranny of your menstrual cup.
