Quick Answer
Use a microwave-safe glass jar, like the Glass Cleaning Jar from Honour Your Flow, to disinfect your menstrual cup with boiling water or Milton tablets.
Why Use a Glass Jar?
A glass jar is a dedicated, heat-resistant container that keeps your cup clean without absorbing odors or stains. Unlike plastic containers, borosilicate glass can withstand repeated microwave heating without warping or leaching chemicals.
How to Clean Your Menstrual Cup with a Glass Jar
- Fill the Jar with Water: Add enough water to fully submerge your menstrual cup. If using a microwave, leave the cup opening facing upward to allow water to flow inside. Don't fill to the brim—leave room for boiling to prevent overflow.
- Microwave or Tablet Disinfection: Place the jar (without lid) in the microwave for 3–5 minutes until the water boils. Alternatively, drop one Milton Mini Tablet into cold water and let the cup soak for 15 minutes. Never microwave a sealed jar; always remove the lid to avoid pressure buildup.
- Cool and Rinse: Let the water cool completely before handling. Remove the cup with clean hands or tongs, then rinse with cool, clean water before reuse. Hot water can burn your skin—always wait until the jar is cool to the touch.
