How to clean the menstrual cup?

How to clean the menstrual cup?


Menstrual cups have made many women comfortable during menstruation. Not only the method of using it but also the cleaning process should be given special attention.


Menstrual cup should be maintained 'serially'. Serilation is the process of disinfecting. Dettol or sloven water in clean water or just dipping in warm water will disinfect it. Then it can be reused.



Can the same menstrual cup be used repeatedly?


A menstrual cup should not be used for a long time. The cup should be changed at least every 4 to 6 hours. This rule applies not only to menstrual cups, but also to sanitary pads and reusable pads. The menstrual cup should not be used continuously throughout the day.




Bacterial infection occurs if the menstrual cup is not changed from time to time. It can also cause great harm to the body.


When to clean?


After the bleeding, the menstrual cup should be removed. Then immerse the cup in hot water, then keep the cup immersed in sloven, datel or antiseptic solution for half an hour. Then take it out and apply it after drying.


Just washing it with plain water will not clean it. Even clean water can contain germs, so it should be cleaned to make it germ-free.


The cup can also be washed with soap. But since the quality of soap is not known to everyone, antiseptic solution is the best.


What is the risk of infection through the menstrual cup?


Most of the tools used during menstruation are risky. However, menstrual cups are slightly more risky than sanitary pads. As the menstrual cup fills with blood, it can cause infection quickly.


Since it has to be applied by hand, there is a possibility of transmission of infection from there. Therefore, you should wear a menstrual cup only after washing your hands thoroughly.


How to keep after use?


After using the menstrual cup, put antiseptic in hot water and leave it for 30 minutes. Take it out and dry it and put it in a cloth or a clean bag and keep it in a place where other people do not touch it and it is not dirty.


How many years can a menstrual cup be used?


By paying attention to cleanliness, the same menstrual cup can be reused. But it is advisable to use the cup once purchased for a maximum of one year. Because after using it a lot, it can cause infection in the body.
