MonthlyCup care notes
Make cup care feel simple, not mysterious.
A calm, practical hub for long-term menstrual cup care: cleaning, drying, breathable storage, condition checks, and replacement signals supported by current MonthlyCup product guidance.
12hMonthlyCup guidance says to empty according to flow and no later than 12 hours.
AirDry fully and store where air can circulate, rather than sealing moisture away.
CheckReplace silicone that is damaged, sticky, or noticeably changed.
The care loop
Four moments matter most.
Long-term cup care is less about complicated routines and more about repeating a few careful steps consistently while respecting the current product instructions.
During a period
Empty according to your flow and no later than 12 hours. When removing, release the seal first rather than pulling the stem alone.
Between periods
Boil between periods as instructed, let the cup dry fully, and store it with air circulation. MonthlyCup products are supplied with a fabric storage pouch according to product information for the Normal model.
No fixed lifespan claim
Condition beats calendar guessing.
The source pack does not support a universal number of years for replacement. This hub therefore focuses on what MonthlyCup guidance does state: check the silicone and replace it if it is damaged, sticky, or noticeably changed.
