Period Cup Hygiene: A Step-by-Step Guide for Optimal Period Care

Hello, lovely readers! If you're here, it means you're curious about enhancing your period care routine, especially when it comes to using period cups. Let’s dive into maintaining your menstrual cup's hygiene to ensure comfort, safety, and ease during your cycle.

Understanding Period Cups

Period cups are becoming the go-to choice for many people seeking a sustainable and hassle-free period care solution. They're reusable, eco-friendly, and with the right care, can last for several years. One of the biggest aspects of ensuring comfort and safety with these products is maintaining their hygiene.

Step-by-Step Guide for Cleaning Your Period Cup

1. Wash Your Hands

Before handling your period cup, make sure your hands are clean. Use soap and water to eliminate any bacteria or impurities.

2. Empty and Rinse

After removing the cup, empty its contents into the toilet. Rinse the cup under cold water to prevent stains. Following this, you can wash it with warm water and a gentle, non-fragranced soap.

3. Deep Cleaning Once a Month

It's advisable to sterilize your period cup at the end of each cycle. A great tool for this is the MomDaughts' Foldable Sterilizer Cup. Simply place the cup in the sterilizer, fill it with boiling water, and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes.

4. Avoid Harsh Cleaning Agents

When cleaning your period cups, steer clear of harsh chemicals, fragrances, or oils as these can degrade the silicone material. Instead, consider using a mild, formulated wash like the Medicated Inti Wash Hygiene Wash For Women 100 ML.

5. Storage Tips

Once clean and dry, store your period cup in a breathable container, like the detailed pouch it comes with, and avoid airtight containers that can encourage bacterial growth.

6. Regular Checks

Inspect your cup for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any cracks or changes in texture, it might be time to consider replacing it.
