Cups & Discs Care Tips

🧼 How to Clean & Care for Your Menstrual Cup or Disc

Hume’s Cups and Discs are made to last — with proper care, they can serve you for 10+ years. Here’s how to keep them clean, safe, and comfortable to use.

🔄 Before First Use

• Boil your cup or disc in water for 5–7 minutes
• Make sure it’s fully submerged and not touching the bottom of the pot
• Let it cool for a few minutes before using or storing
• Store in a breathable cotton pouch, never in an airtight container

🚿 During Your Cycle

• Rinse with clean cold or warm water after each removal
• Use mild, fragrance-free soap if desired — or just water
• Avoid antibacterial soap, bleach, vinegar, or harsh chemicals

💡 On the go? Bring a small bottle of clean water. You can empty your cup or disc into the toilet, then rinse it over the toilet with the bottle — no need to go to the sink. If needed, store the used cup in your pouch and insert a fresh one.

🧴 Removal Tips

• Cups: Break the seal by gently pinching the base before removing — never pull from the stem
• Discs: Hook your finger under the rim to slide it out — discs don’t use suction

🧼 After Each Cycle

• Boil again for 5–7 minutes to sanitize
• Let it dry fully before storing

👜 Storage

• Always store your clean cup or disc in its cotton pouch
• Keep in a cool, dry place
