Quick answer

Yes, you can clean your menstrual cup using Milton Mini Tabs. This cold-water method is a convenient alternative to boiling—just dissolve a tablet in water, soak your cup, and rinse.

Why Choose Cold-Water Sanitizing?

Cold-water sanitizing with Milton Mini Tabs is a great option if you don't want to boil your cup or don't have access to a stove or microwave. The tablets are designed to disinfect without heat, making them ideal for travel or shared living spaces.

The MeLuna Menstrual Cup Sanitizing Kit combines a reusable container with a full box of 50 Milton Mini Tablets, so you have everything you need in one package. The container is sized to fit most cups, including MeLuna sizes up to XL.

What You'll Need

To get started, you'll need a menstrual cup, a container (like the one in the MeLuna Sanitizing Kit), and Milton Mini Tablets. The tablets are individually wrapped, so you can use one at a time and store the rest for later.

If you don't have the kit, any clean, lidded container that can hold enough water to fully submerge your cup will work. Just make sure it's dedicated to cup cleaning to avoid cross-contamination.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Sanitize Your Cup with Milton Mini Tabs

  1. Step 1: Prepare the solution: Fill the MeLuna Disinfection Container (or any clean container) with enough cold water to fully cover your menstrual cup. Drop one Milton Mini Tablet into the water and let it dissolve completely. This usually takes 1–2 minutes. Common mistake: Using hot water. These tablets are designed for cold water only—hot water can reduce their effectiveness.
  2. Step 2: Soak the cup: Place your clean menstrual cup into the solution and close the lid. Let it soak for at least 15 minutes, or longer if you prefer a deeper sanitizing session. The solution will kill bacteria and break down protein residues. Checkpoint: Make sure the cup is fully submerged. If it floats, press it down gently or add a bit more water.
  3. Step 3: Rinse thoroughly: Remove the cup from the solution and rinse it well under running water. No soap is needed at this stage—the tablets do the cleaning. Dry the cup completely before storing it in the MeLuna Drawstring Pouch or another breathable container. Don't skip rinsing: Leftover solution could cause irritation. A quick rinse under tap water is enough.
