how to handle menstrual cup staining: tips and reviews

Menstrual cups are an increasingly popular, eco-friendly way to manage periods. However, one common issue many users encounter is menstrual cup staining. If you’re using the my mimi menstrual disc, this guide will explain why staining occurs and provide simple, effective solutions to keep your disc looking fresh. Plus, we’ll highlight how the my mimi gentle foaming cleanser and my mimi GO can help maintain your menstrual disc in excellent condition.

why does menstrual cup staining happen?

There are a few key reasons why menstrual cups and discs may stain over time:

  • Menstrual blood residue: If the disc isn’t cleaned soon after removal, blood pigments can stain the silicone.
  • Heat exposure: High temperatures from boiling or sunlight can cause discolouration.
  • Incorrect cleaning methods: Harsh chemicals or improper cleaning techniques can contribute to staining.
