- How to wash menstrual cups - a quick guide to your best practices. The same cup can be used all cycle long - remove, empty contents, wash with a gentle soap or cup safe wash, and reinsert. Boil your cup 1x a month either before or after your period. That's it!
I always wash my cups before inserting them, because the inserting gets much easier and i can be sure that the cup is completely clean. It's a win-win situation!
I boil mine each before and after every cycle and I have three 😅
I don't have a cup yet, but plant to get one soon. If I didnt see this video, I wouldnt have known to wash it that often or to boil/sterilize it once a month! Thank you!
It says so in the cup manuals.
Omg, that's a beautiful sink faucet
As a house cleaner, I completely agree 😂
Omg same
Can we use menstrual wash other than boiling
Some videos say use sterilizer container with lid in microwave and others say without lid - im confused. Also couldnt i use any container then?
Cup pe Dhaka huya ched hote h aur niklne k liye woh chedh khulkar badha ched ho gya h esa kyu hua jabki mei month mei ek baar sterilize krti thi in boiling water baki wash krti thi esi kya galti huyi Within 4-5 mon I need to buy new one...per koi meri galti tou bta do taki second time I can fix it.
How long do you boil your cup?
3 - 5 mins
Does it have to be washed with soap or can we not just rinse with water and reinsert?
Always use soap. Water doesn't disinfect at all
@@GuineaParents won’t it be disinfected when it’s boiled in a pan on the cooker? Wont using soap change the ph balance?
But my dark blue on got stained anyway
If I can use shampoo clean this???
No, the shampoo will hurt your insides when it goes in. Only use hot water and vinegar
I would recommend an unscented castile soap over shampoo. You need something that would be safe if any remnants go inside you when you reinsert the cup, as well as something that won’t degrade the silicone over time.
How to stop stains
Can you use normal hand soap??
As long as it is a light soap and not scented I think
Can we use Dettol hand wash for cleaning?? Please reply
That's what I use idk is it's safe or not so I wash the cup thoroughly
No....cup is supposed to go inside us, and Dettol have harsh chemicals in it plus the cup is medical grade silicon, we don't know if silicon get reactive with harsh Dettol or savlon type of material
@@Tina-bu5yt then liquid is right to wash it?
@@nityaoneinall which liquid..?
@@Tina-bu5yt I mean which wash is better
Please don't waste water plus I love you ❤
There is no such thing as "wasting" water well not if it's coming from the public water system the water from the drain goes right back into the processing plant where is filtered again using reverse osmosis. The problem isn't that there isn't enough water on the planet the problem is there's too many people using the water at all times that it doesn't get filtered back quick enough to support the demand hence which creates a shortage of "clean" potable water leading to water usage advisories in places like California.
From an environmentalist perspective it doesn't make much sense to put the burden of over consumption of clean water on individual people because We aren't the problem the reality of the situation is that big companies and processing plants are the reason certain areas are experiencing drought these companies use millions of gallons of water every year and they are not seeing to it that the water is filtered and cleaned so that it may be reintroduced into the public water supply instead these companies simply find somewhere cheap to dump all the dirty water. I'm sure you meant this in a kind way but it is in fact corporations Not some lady in her bathroom doing a 10-second demo a reusable menstrual product responsible for water shortages. If You're passionate about these things rather than pestering a few people about their personal consumption. I suggest you go fill out the petitions online and sit in on City Hall meetings when they discuss things like this because that's the way to make lasting change.
This makes a lot less waste than pads or tampons.
