During menstruation, the cervix is slightly open, which increases the risk of infection.
Before inserting or removing a menstrual cup, be sure to wash your hands with soap.
Empty the hygiene product at least twice a day or once every 12 hours.
If you don't have a chance to wash it, pour out the contents and wipe the cup with a special napkin. Make sure your hands are clean.
Don't use lubricants to insert the cup. Don't wash it with vinegar, oils, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or soda because these will damage the silicone. For the same reason, don't put the product in the dishwasher.
After your period ends, wash the cup as usual or boil it for 5-10 minutes. Keep it in a bag made of breathable cotton.
