Heartcup - Washing Instructions

How to sterilize Heartcup

  

We recommend sterilizing your Heartcup before using it for the first time and then once a month; either at the start or at the end of your menstrual cycle.

Follow these steps:

-Fill up a pot with water, enough so the menstrual cup will not touch the bottom.

-Bring to a boil, then add Heartcup ( Note: If the cup is not clean, wash it with water and mild soap before sterilizing it).

-Let Heartcup be in the boiling water for 4-6 minutes.

-Before taking it out wash your hands. Then remember to wait for Safecup to cool down prior to inserting it. There is no need to dry it. 

 

How to clean Heartcup, between changes

  Always wash your hands before and after.

After removing the cup, empty the liquid in the toilet, sink or shower. Rinse first with cold water, then wash it under warm water. 

 Use a mild soap, that doesn't contain harmful ingredients for your body.

Check the air holes: if they are clogged, clean them being sure to unblock them completely.

Rinse well until it is completely clean and without soap residuals.

 

 

Note: If you are in a public toilet and don't have access to a mild soap, it is better to wash it well only with the use  of water. Then when you arrive at home you can wash it properly. You may also think about prepare before hand, either by carrying with you water and mild soap or Supertowel; or by bringing Safepad, our reusable menstrual pads, and wear them instead of Heartcup until home.
