Check that the air holes around the top are fully open. Wash your hands and clean your cup with water and mild soap (seriously, none of that scented crap!)
Boil it in a large pot for 20 minutes before you use it for the first time.
First, tip the blood into the toilet. Rinse with cold water and then wash with warm water. Use Lunette’s specially formulated menstrual cup wash to make it squeaky clean.
When your period is over, disinfect your cup by either boiling your cup or using Lunette disinfecting Cupwipes. Lunette should be disinfected before and after your cycle.
The Lunette Cupwipes are handy while camping or in a gross porta potty. They eliminate most germs and enable you to use the cup safely even if water is not available. Wipes are packed separately so they are easy to carry with you.
Fill the cup with water, place your palm on it, turn it upside down, and squeeze. When the water squirts out through the air-holes, they should be instantly cleaned! Also, you can use a blunt toothpick soaked in rubbing alcohol. Or a tooth brush dedicated solely for this purpose. Do not use sharp items (like needles) on your cup because they will do more damage than good.
You can also use Lunette Cupwipes by rolling the edges tight and and gently sticking them to the air holes and wiping them clean.Don’t worry, we’re not going to tell you to run to the sink that’s on the other side of the bathroom stall! Remember that Lunette cup can hold blood for up to 12 hours. However, life happens, and we understand your fears.
Our Lunette Cup Wipes are amazing, disinfectant, and super convenient when you don’t have access to water (aka a bathroom stall).
No. Perfumed soaps with unknown pH values might coat the cup with a layer of irritants that could damage the precious mucous membrane of the vagina. Some of these soaps may also contain agents that might damage the silicone. It's better to wash Lunette with tap water than use the wrong kind of soap. Lunette is smooth on the inside, making it easy to clean with water alone. When you and Lunette return home, consider our Feelbetter Liquid Wash — it's specially created to clean the cup gently and thoroughly without damaging the cup or irritating your body (plus it smells divine!).
Technically yes, but we highly recommend our own products since they have been developed to work with our Lunette products.
When using another brand, make sure they don't contain any harsh chemicals, oils, perfumes, or colorants that might leave residual on the cup and irritate the sensitive vagina.
When your Lunette is clean it doesn't have any colors, smells, or oily residue on the surface.
The best way to get rid of stains on your cup is to use the Lunette Cupwipes. They contain only water and alcohol and are a perfect match for your cup! You can also soak the cup in 3% Hydrogen peroxide or spirit vinegar. Lemon juice works well for stains too.
Stains can be prevented by always rinsing the cup with cold water first!We recommend trying our handy Cupwipes when water isn't available. They are individually packed disinfecting wipes that are compostable. Super easy when camping!
