Published in Menstrual Health 1 min read

Yes, you can wash your menstrual cup with soap!

It's important to use a gentle, unscented soap, as harsh chemicals can irritate sensitive skin.

Here are some tips for washing your menstrual cup:

* **Rinse with water:** After each use, rinse your cup thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water.
* **Wash with soap:** Use a gentle, unscented soap and wash your cup inside and out. 
* **Avoid antibacterial soap:** Antibacterial soap can disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora.
* **Rinse again:** Rinse your cup thoroughly with water to remove all soap residue. 
* **Dry completely:**  Let your cup air dry completely before storing it.

You can also boil your cup in water for 5-10 minutes to sterilize it.

Remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and sterilizing your menstrual cup.
