How do you wash you menstrual cup?

Question

I got my first menstrual cup not too long ago and wanted to ask how to properly clean it. Which ways do you girls normally do? Should I buy the menstrual cup wash for it or just use soap and water? Thanks!

Answer

I just rinse mine with water with each dumping, then boil to sanitize in between cycles

Answer

Before and after i do deep clean with boiling it. But while im on my period i sometimes just do water, sometimes water a baby soap (cuz its very mild)😂 and in public i have my wet wipes with me in my bag or toilet paper

Answer

I boil mine between periods and then use non antibacterial and fragrance free hand soap and hot water to wash it whenever I remove mine while I'm in my period. Like Softsoap I think is the brand it's like $1 at Walmart and works great!

Answer

I boil if I had a infection (which is almost NEVER since I switched to cloth pads and a cup.), but normally I use Saalt's Cup wash once a day while on my period and I have a extreamly diluted peroxide in RO water spray I use as well for on the run or if I just want be extra sure (for whatever reason) . For stains or in between cycles (if I feel it really needs it) I soak my cup in a large Mason jar the with the following recipes: 
More than 2 Cups
• 3 Cups Water
• 1/2 Cup Peroxide 
• Soak 5-10 minutes 
☆ 1CUP ONLY ☆ 
• 1/4 Cup Peroxide 
• 1 1/2 Cups Water
• SOAK 5-10 minutes 
ALWAYS USE COLD WATER. Rinse between emptying if possible. Some women bring a water bottle to rinse their cup while out and about or buy whipes. I have been a cup user for 3yrs now and am a mom. Lol I know of many women who just dont use anything but cold water and boil once a year if that- but I think that's a wee bit outta line personally.

Answer

If its a clear cup always rinse with cold water during period so it doesn't stain. Use a soft soap, nothing scented, boil between cycles & keep in a breathable bag. No plastic because germs can grow and fester.
