Using a menstrual cup over disposable products is a beautiful solution to reducing waste and for your personal health. Your health is a priority when putting things up your vaginal canal, so you need to treat it like royalty; that is why we developed DivaWash to clean your menstrual cup.
DivaCup, for example, is produced by a certified manufacturing site that specifically manages medical devices. This menstrual cup is made of 100% medical-grade silicone, which means there are no chemicals, plastic, or dyes in your vagina.
Sweet, right? We think so.
Maintaining your menstrual cup
Even with a safe product that puts your reproductive health first, you still have a responsibility to use it properly. When you start using a DivaCup, it is important to boil it for disinfection and to wash your hands prior to insertion. If you care for your DivaCup correctly it will extend its lifespan!
Between uses, you need to clean it.
