Today is the first day of spring, in what feels like a whole new world. We know, everyone everywhere is talking about cleaning, but hear us out... We truly believe this is one of the most important things that you can learn in your menstrual cup journey. In light of this, we wanted to give you a quick cleaning guide for your menstrual cup!

Step 1: SANITIZE
Your period has begun! Make sure you sanitize your cup well before you insert it to start the week. You have three sanitization options: boiling, steaming, or UV sterilization.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To Boil: Place a pot of hot water on the stove. When it reaches a boil, remove it from heat and lower your cup into the water, being careful not to let it touch the bottom or sides of the pot. Allow soaking for five minutes or more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To Steam: Place your Pixie Cup inside the Pixie Cup Steamer, press the button, and wait three minutes!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To UV Sterilize: Place your cup inside the Pixie Cup UV Sterilizer, close, and wait two minutes!

Step 2: CLEAN REGULARLY
Whenever you empty your cup, give your cup a quick wash with hot water and a little natural soap or Pixie Cup Wash. This will keep your cup smelling nice and remove any surface stains.

Step 3: you guessed it… STERILIZE AGAIN.
When your period is over, it’s time to sterilize your Pixie Cup again! You can either steam your cup or boil it to make sure it is completely bacteria-free.

Happy Cleaning!
