Just like any other reusable product, your Lunette Cup should stay clean before and after insertion.
“But what if I’m not at home and I need to clean my cup?” No worries. Below is a handy guide for the best way to take care of your new companion, no matter where you are.
First time users:
Check that the air holes around the top are fully open. Wash your hands and clean your cup with water and mild soap (seriously, none of that scented crap!)
Boil it in a large pot for 20 minutes before you use it for the first time.
Cleaning During Your Period:
First, tip the blood into the toilet. Rinse with cold water and then wash with warm water. Use Lunette’s specially formulated menstrual cup wash to make it squeaky clean.
Your period is finally over – now what?
When your period is over, disinfect your cup by either boiling your cup or using Lunette disinfecting Cupwipes. Lunette should be disinfected before and after your cycle.
Cleaning when you’re out and about
The Lunette Cupwipes are handy while camping or in a gross porta potty. They eliminate most germs and enable you to use the cup safely even if water is not available. Wipes are packed separately so they are easy to carry with you.
How Can I Clean The Air Holes?
Fill the cup with water, place your palm on it, turn it upside down, and squeeze. When the water squirts out through the air-holes, they should be instantly cleaned! Also, you can use a blunt toothpick soaked in rubbing alcohol. Or a tooth brush dedicated solely for this purpose. Do not use sharp items (like needles) on your cup because they will do more damage than good. You can also use Lunette Cupwipes by rolling the edges tight and and gently sticking them to t he air holes and wiping them clean.
How Do I Clean My Menstrual Cup In A Public Toilet?
Don’t worry, we’re not going to tell you to run to the sink that’s on the other side of the bathroom stall! Remember that Lunette cup can hold blood for up to 12 hours. However, life happens, and we understand your fears.
Our Lunette Cup Wipes are amazing, disinfectant, and super convenient when you don’t have access to water (aka a bathroom stall).
At Work, I Can’t Wash My Lunette With The Washing Liquid. Should I Wash The Cup With Perfumed Soap Or Tap Water?
No. Perfumed soaps with unknown pH values might coat the cup with a layer of irritants that could damage the precious mucous membrane of the vagina. Some of these soaps may also contain agents that might damage the silicone. It’s better to wash Lunette with tap water than use the wrong kind of soap. Lunette is smooth on the inside, making it easy to clean with water alone.
Can I Use Other Cleaning Products Or Wipes To Clean my Lunette Menstrual Cup?
When using any clening product, make sure they don’t contain any harsh chemicals, oils, perfumes, or colorants that might leave residual on the cup and irritate the sensitive vagina.
How Do I Know If I’ve Cleaned My Lunette Menstrual Cup Well Enough?
When your Lunette is clean it doesn’t have any colors, smells, or oily residue on the surface.
