Menstrual cup bad odor

Why does my cup smell bad?

Cups can develop odor. Clean thoroughly each time you empty it to prevent this.

Silicone smells like silicone

New medical silicone may have a faint smell that disappears after first boiling.

Forgotten cup

A cup left in for over 12 hours may develop odor. Boil for 5 minutes to sterilize.

Removing deposits

Soak in vinegar or lemon juice for a few hours and scrub gently.

Maintain hygiene

Always keep your hands and the cup clean. Keep the small holes clear.

When to replace?

If odor persists despite cleaning, it may be time for a new cup. A well-maintained cup lasts up to 10 years.
