Welcome to the sustainable, comfortable period club! If you're new to using a menstrual cup or menstrual disc, it's important to sanitize your product before and after each cycle. Here’s how to do it easily:

Understanding Sanitizing vs. Sterilizing
Sanitizing: Reduces germs to safe levels, ideal for home cleaning.
Sterilizing: Eliminates all microbial life, usually done in medical settings, often with an autoclave.
Sanitization Methods
Boiling Water (Classic Method)
Supplies: Pot, water, tongs or whisk.
Steps:
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Carefully position your secured cup or disc (within tongs or whisk) and boil for 4–5 minutes.
Remove and let cool before storing or wearing.
Compact Sanitizer (Travel-Friendly Method)
Supplies:Compact Sanitizer, microwave.
Steps:
Open the sanitizer, fill with water, and add your cup/disc.
Microwave for about 3 minutes until boiling.
Let sit for another 3 minutes, then cool and store.
Saalt Steamer (EasyMethod)
Supplies:Steamer.
Steps:
Plug in the steamer and add water to the reservoir.
Place your cup/disc on top and cover with the lid.
Press the button and let it steam. Once done, let cool before removing.
Final Tips
Always rinse your cup/disc before sanitizing.
Ensure air holes are clean.
Store your sanitized product in a clean, dry place.
By following these methods, you’ll keep your cup or disc in great shape and ready for use. Enjoy your sustainable period journey!
