Cleaning your menstrual cup correctly helps maintain its quality and keeps it comfortable to use. While many mild, fragrance-free soaps are considered suitable, products specifically formulated for menstrual cups are designed to clean effectively while being gentle on medical-grade silicone. Harsh chemicals, scented soaps, and oil-based cleansers should be avoided because they may irritate sensitive tissue or affect the cup material over time.
This blog explains what makes a good cup wash, why pH-balanced and residue-free formulas matter, and how proper cleaning supports long-term cup care. You'll also learn the correct washing routine during your period and how it differs from sterilizing between cycles.
