How to Clean Menstrual Cups and Discs | Ultimate Guide

[@Jess4mab]

I saw a really good tip for cleaning cups/discs in public. You can take one of the collapsible sterilizer cups with you, and fill it with warm water and take with you into the stall. Put the cup in the container and close the lid tight, shake it well to clean it off. Pour the dirty water out in the toilet and reinsert the cup/disc. The container collapses, so it's easy to keep in your pocket or purse as well.

[@krystania3258]

Omg this is perfect, thank you! I literally just bought one of the collapsible things too just to use it before I use a cup but now I have two purposes for it!

[@Jess4mab]

@@krystania3258 you're welcome!

[@Zineb-on9bj]

Or you can do the exact same thing using a collapsible cup but instead of warm water, use hydrogen peroxide 3%. That will remove staining as well. Then just rinse it well or use wet wipes that are safe for your body.

[@erussoart]

DO NOT PEROXIDE SOAK YOUR DIVA CUP. I did the peroxide soak on my Diva cup and it did remove all the stains BUT it turn the silicon a little bit chalky. It has this slight white powder on it. When I googled it, the diva cup website warns not to put peroxide on the cup because it can damage the cup and recommend to replace the cup if the silicon does become chalky. I guess it's time for a new cup. I'm a little bit sad to see it go after 3 years, but I'm excited to try out a different brand.

[@tianamarie989]

I soak mine in a 50/50 water peroxide for 12 hours, every cycle, for 4 years and the cup is fine. Looks like it always has.

[@torrjnn]

Everyone in my house has sensitive or eczema prone skin so I don't buy scented products. When I spent the night at my cousins house I washed my disc on auto pilot and ended up using a super scented soap 🤦🏻‍♀️ I tried rewashing it with an unscented soap but the scent was still on the disc. Since I had no other option I reinserted it and ended up with a nasty smelling disc afterwards. The only thing that got rid of the smell was a peroxide soak. My disc is as good as new again!

[@pprraapparra]

Your comment is old but I just want to share that sunbathing can help getting rid of any smell! But of course it is a bit hard to do when we are still on our periods.

[@lunabell6008]

The only thing I have found that works for me is a 50/50 Peroxide and distilled water soak overnight in between cycles and a 50/50 mix in a mini UV safe spray bottle to clean while it's in use in place of soap. I can't even use soaps and personally, I have also had infections return while boiling in between cycles over the years. So far so good with Peroxide diluted alone for me! My disc is odor free, stain free, infections have ceased to happen, and my disc in general has stayed much cleaner with no damage or deterioration.

[@leahyoung-chung5378]

That peroxide soak is so satisfying!!!

This woman is a serious Prodigy. I wish we had this type of stuff when I was younger. Thank God my mom was one to talk about stuff and explain and a Share stories. Not everyone has that luxury. So these videos and websites and all the knowledge you and your crew provide for us....is remarkable! I'm actually stopping my birth control and about to regulate my body again...for the first time in over a decade. I'm seriously considering a cup but more so a disc. I'm wondering if a disposable disc would be best to start out with or just buy a disc and be done with it..I'm sure I'll end up buying more over time. Thank you for all that you do!

[@Jho_Sephine]

Have you checked out her site? There's a great little quiz and a fantastic chart that let's you compare all the different products that are out. I have been using cups for years and now Im shopping for my teens. Before I found this channel, I was overwhelmed with all the choices. I ended up ordering a few different cups and discs based on her recommendations from the quiz, the chart, and these videos. I wish I had this resource when I first started wearing cups. Heck I wish I had this resource when I was a teen lol

As a college student who wants to try a cup but is living in a busy dorm, these tips are super helpful!! thank you so much

[@vendelaberglund5904]

If you live in a dorm you could do all of it in the shower morning and night so you don't need to walk around with the cup/disc

[@zyxwq0617]

I try to don’t buy everything from “influencers” because I just don’t trust them a lot, but I watched some of your videos and… guess what? I purchased the hello disc because you are so smart and I couldn’t pass out. Now after having the hello disc (but I don’t have my period yet) I feel so happy to trust you, because you are really consistent. I’m still discovering what is the best option for me, I tried organicup, Lili cup one for beginners, the salt teen… and now I’ll try the hello disc, and actually I feel pretty happy, I cannot go back to pads ❤️

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

I live in a multi-generational household and they're _not_ chill about menstration. To clean my cup I set the kettle to boil in the kitchen, drop my cup in a glass jar that I hide in the shower nearby, and just casually dump the boiling water in the jar. If anyone asks why I'm (carefully) carrying a boiling kettle into the bathroom, I just tell them I'm cleaning the drain. I'll typically do this after I've 'claimed' the shower so no one walks in.

[@BKStarlet08]

Another public cup cleaning advice: find a restroom that has a sink in the stall, or a private room with one toilet and one sink if you can. These can be Family Rooms, Accessible rooms/stalls, or an all-gender bathroom

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! I just bought my first menstrual disc, but the instructions on the package are very general and they make it sound like I should wash it with soap and boil it after I've emptied the blood every time, which means every 12 hours I would have to do the whole process, but the thing is that the instructions are very general! But now I feel more confident about using it and the storage because the package I bought comes with a little silicon case, but from what I heard it is better to use the fabric pouch that also came with my package. Again, thank you for all this info.

[@emmysworld2624]

So I prefer having multiple cups clean at the same time so that if im far away from the sink i can just put in a clean one at once and don't have to worry about bleeding all over the floor while washing (I've got really heavy periods). I also wash my cups with medical grade "grønnsåpe"( this is an Norwegian sope, with pine sent. It contains fat and potassium hydroxide). The medical grade one is also used for wound care in in that region. Example: after birth if you got tears, they would ask you to mix a tub of that soap and water and stick your vagina invther for 30 min. I hav chosen this sope since it is recommended for use around your vagina if you absolutely need soap down there, and because you have to import cup safe washes to Norway. You can't just get that from a store, but you can get the "grønnsåpe" at the farmacy.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

One of their other products is the Deodorant Wipes. The Acidified Body Wash and the Deodorant Wipes could be used together for a complete clean down there and for your cups and discs while on the go - providing you a higher level of confidence you are getting the best menstrual support for your period.

[@jannab8123]

On the odor - When I got mine 11 years ago, I also always rinsed it with warm water.. turns out that's really bad for the protein in the blood which then led to an odor. So whilst I'm using it, I'm always just rinsing it with COLD water (I'm lucky to have the same toilet/sink situation like you) and when I'm done I clean it with tabs which are sold for dentures. So my cup always has a light peppermind scent to it :D. Have been doing that for 11 years and I'm still using my first cup :).

I use a handheld bidet for my cup and disc, and it is a game changer! Can rinse your hands off too.

[@abkayla1T]

using a bidet to clean my area after changing my cup is the best thing ever. for public situations you could purchase a travel bidet and use that to rinse the cup. or i just use toilet paper to wipe it off and then when i get home then i clean it at home.

[@janesmith1917]

I always have a cup so I could wash up really quick and when I'm out I can use a water bottle that's how I stay fresh anyways I don't think tissue really cleans. And a bidet really isn't a choice cuz it's not my property but I'm looking into getting a portable one that I can install on top of what I have there.

[@myssakay]

When I was in high school, I had a really messy experience with a cup. I was afraid to use it for years. Now I switch between tampons and cups. I love them for heavier times or when I don’t have tampons or they are becoming irritating. I just rinse when I’m able and clean them in the shower with Dr Bronner’s Castile soap.

it should be stored in a breathable container/bag or even left out in the open so that moisture is dried off properly. warm moist areas are ideal conditions for bacteria to grow. to avoid bacterial growth, you wanna store silicone products in cool, dry places. also keep silicone products from making direct contact with each other as that can damage the silicone, this includes, other cups/discs, toys, and lubes that aren't water based. if each silicone product is in their own bag or container, storing them next to each other should be fine. hope this helps!

You have been doing this for more than a decade and you don't know why they recommend boiling for 20 minutes? It's basically pasteurizing. 20 min over 80 degrees Celsius is pretty good for killing staphylococcus aureus or streptococcus (I forgot the full name) which are the two bacteria that cause menstrual toxic shock syndrome. So it's a really good idea to boil a new cup for at least 20 minutes because the new cup may introduce these bacteria to users environment otherwise.
