How do I use the menstrual cleaning cup
Disinfection in a microwave
Place your menstrual cup into the disinfection cup and fill it up with cold water. Then push the lid into place. Sterilise in the microwave for up to 3 minutes. The water must be boiling for the disinfection to be effective. If in doubt, please consult your microwave manual. Most customers use medium power level / wattage.
The disinfection cup will be very hot because of the heating process. Please take appropriate safety measures (pot cloth, oven mittens) for your hands and be very careful when removing the disinfection cup from the microwave. The safest option is to let the cup and it's contents cool down inside the microwave then remove when it is a cooler temperature.
Put your cup into the sterilising pot. Fill with water either from a sink or from a bottle of water. Close the lid. Put your finger over the steam vent holes and shake your cup. Then holding the lid in place allow the water to drain down the toilet through the vent holes.
