tips and reviews for the my mimi menstrual disc

Menstrual cups and discs are increasingly popular for their sustainability and ease of use. A frequent question is how to remove stains from your menstrual cup. If you’re using the my mimi menstrual disc, there are gentle and reliable ways to maintain its appearance and performance. This comprehensive guide covers effective stain removal and showcases the benefits of using the my mimi gentle foaming cleanser and my mimi GO for deep cleaning and sanitising.

why stains appear on menstrual cups and discs

Staining can occur for several reasons, especially with reusable products like the my mimi menstrual disc:

• Menstrual fluid: Prolonged contact with blood can cause discolouration if not cleaned promptly.
• High temperatures: Frequent boiling or high heat exposure may lead to yellowing or darkened areas.
• Inadequate cleaning: Skipping regular washing or using harsh products can result in staining over time.

extra tips to prevent staining

1. rinse before washing

After removal, rinse your disc with cold water first. This helps prevent blood from setting into the silicone before washing.

2. avoid harsh products

Bleach, vinegar, and scented soaps can degrade silicone. Stick to gentle, pH-balanced products like the my mimi cleanser.

3. dry and store correctly

Always air dry your disc fully before storing. Use a breathable pouch to prevent mould, dust, and staining from poor airflow.
