What If I Drop My Menstrual Cup or Disc in the Toilet? {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

Accidents happen! If your period cup or menstrual disc falls in the toilet, don’t panic. Here’s how to handle it smoothly.

1. Stay Calm: Take a deep breath. This is a common mishap.

2. Assess the Situation: Check if it’s submerged or floating. If it’s within reach, you can retrieve it.

3. Retrieve the Cup or Disc:

  • Wear Gloves: If you have disposable gloves, use them for hygiene.

  • Use a Tool: If you’re uncomfortable, use tongs or a stick to grab it.

  • Gently Lift It Out: Carefully retrieve your menstrual product.

4. Clean and Sanitize: Rinse it under water, wash with gentle soap, like Saalt Wash, and consider boiling or using a cup or disc steamer if you plan to reuse it. You can always wipe it down, inside and out, with isopropyl alcohol and a soft rag. 

5. Consider Disposal: If it’s damaged or you feel uneasy using it, it’s best to dispose of it. Keep a backup like pads or tampons on hand.

6. Reflect and Share: Think about how it happened to prevent future accidents. Share your experience with friends or online; it can help others feel less alone. 

With these steps, you can navigate this common situation confidently!
