How, When, & Why to Boil, Clean, Store your Menstrual Cup|Moonthlies, Pixie Cup, Hello Cup

Take care of your menstrual products by boiling, cleaning, and storing your menstrual cup so your cup lasts 5 years or more and you avoid toxic shock syndrome! When you first receive your menstrual cup, you want to boil it for 3-5 minutes to sterilize your cup. Between your periods you can boil or wash your disc or cup with low fragrance, mild soap or boil your cup on the stove. Checking your menstrual cup for deterioration, stickiness, and holes will help you decide the best time to replace your cup, but many menstrual cup users find their cup or disc can last 5 years or more if they store it in dry places without exposure to the sun. Stick around for the bonus at the end where I share my experience with low cervix cups like the hello cup, pixie cup, and moonthlies menstrual disc.
