Cleaning & Caring
Caring for and cleaning your Sofia disc is one of the easiest parts of having a menstrual cup. With proper care your Sofia Disc will last you up to 5 years.
Before and after Every Cycle
First things first: wash your hands both for insertion and removal of your cup. Now you can wash your cup with a mild, unscented oil-free wash or just rinse it with cold water. Sterilize then for 5 minutes, using the Sofia sterilizer, suitable for sterilization in the microwave.
Getting Rid of Stains
Prevention is key to keep stains away. Each time you remove your disc rinse your disc under cold water as hot water can let stains set. However if you haven’t been rinsing your disc after every use in cold water and your disc starts to stain – we’ve got you covered. You can soak your disc in lemon juice or vinegar to lift the stains and then sterilize again for 5-10 minutes with boiling water.
Sanitise
Disinfect your disc between cycles by boiling your disc in water for 5 minutes. Or use the Sofia Sterilizer and pop it into the microwave for 5 minutes.
Storing your Disc
Dry your Sofia disc thoroughly before storing it in the bag provided or any other breathable container. You can also store it in the Sofia Sterilizer. Never use an airtight container or plastic bag to store your disc.
