Nyras Menstrual Cup Sterilizer Container

A menstrual cup sterilizing container is a convenient way to clean and sterilize your menstrual cup between uses. Here’s how you can use it:

Step 1: Clean Your Hands Before handling your menstrual cup or its sterilizing container, make sure your hands are clean. Wash them thoroughly with soap and water.

Step 2: Empty the Menstrual Cup Empty your menstrual cup and rinse it with water to remove any menstrual fluid or residue. You can do this over a toilet or sink.

Step 3: Disassemble the Container Most menstrual cup sterilizing containers consist of two parts: a container and a lid. Disassemble the container by removing the lid.

Step 4: Place the Menstrual Cup Inside Open the sterilizing container and place your cleaned menstrual cup inside. It’s a good idea to fold the cup to make it fit comfortably inside the container. Ensure that the cup is not tightly packed, as air circulation is important for effective sterilization.

Step 5: Add Water Some containers require you to add water before placing the menstrual cup inside. Check the instructions that came with the sterilizing container for the recommended water level. Typically, you’ll want to use enough water to fully submerge the menstrual cup without causing an overflow when the lid is closed.

Step 6: Close the Container Place the lid back onto the container and ensure that it’s securely closed. This is important to prevent any water from leaking out during the sterilization process.

Step 7: Microwave or Boil Depending on the type of menstrual cup sterilizing container you have, you’ll either microwave it or boil it to sterilize the cup. Follow these steps based on the container type:

• Microwave Method: If your sterilizing container is microwave-safe, you can place it in the microwave according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Usually, it’s recommended to microwave on high for a specific duration, such as 3-5 minutes. The microwave will heat the water and steam will sterilize the cup.
• Boiling Method: If your sterilizing container is not microwave-safe or if you prefer not to use a microwave, you can boil the container on the stovetop. Place the closed container in a pot of boiling water and let it boil for the recommended amount of time, usually around 5-10 minutes.

Step 8: Allow to Cool After the sterilization process is complete, carefully remove the container from the microwave or stovetop. Be cautious as the container and its contents may be hot. Allow the container to cool down before opening it.

Step 9: Empty and Dry Once the container is cool, open it and carefully remove the menstrual cup. Empty any remaining water from the container and allow the cup to air dry before storing it.

Remember to always follow the manufacturer’s instructions that come with your specific menstrual cup sterilizing container, as different brands may have slightly different guidelines. Properly sterilizing your menstrual cup between uses helps maintain hygiene and prevents potential infections.
