How to Clean Your Menstrual Cup & Disc

Before first use, sterilise your cup or disc with the bohokiwi steriliser (see instructions below) or by boiling it in a pot of water for 5-10 minutes.

Sterilising After Your Cycle

1. Microwave Steam Cleaning
• Half-fill the bohokiwi steriliser with water.
• Insert your cup or disc.
• Loosely place the lid to allow steam circulation.
• Microwave for 3-5 minutes.
• Remove and air dry on the lid.
2. Boiling Method
• Fill the bohokiwi steriliser with boiling water and let your cup or disc sit with the lid on for 10 minutes.
• Remove and air dry on the lid.
Deep Cleaning & Stain Removal
• Wash with Mild Soap: Use mild, fragrance-free, oil-free, unscented soap and rinse well.
• For Cups Only: Use the bohokiwi brush to clean small air holes.
• Sunlight Exposure: Leave your cup or disc in direct sunlight.
• Vinegar Solution: Soak in 1 part vinegar to 9 parts water.
• Hydrogen Peroxide Soak: Soak in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 2 hours, then boil for 10 minutes.
Regular washing and sterilising will keep your cup or disc clean, fresh, and safe for every cycle. Using the bohokiwi steriliser makes sterilisation simple and effective, ensuring your product stays hygienic and ready for use.
