Don't panic! It's a common occurrence, and while it's not ideal, it's usually not a cause for major concern.
Here's what to do:
- Retrieve the cup: Carefully fish it out of the toilet bowl. Avoid flushing it, as this could clog your pipes.
- Thoroughly clean it: Boil your menstrual cup in water for 5-10 minutes to sterilize it and kill any potential bacteria.
- Reinsert the cup: Once cooled, you can reinsert the cup. If you feel hesitant, you can use a new menstrual cup.
- Consider replacing the cup: Depending on the cleanliness of your toilet and how long the cup was submerged, you might want to replace the cup for extra peace of mind.
Remember, it's important to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and storing your menstrual cup.
