...But is it actually sanitary?

Have you ever wondered if your menstrual cup is actually sanitary?

I mean, come on. It is reused a few days a month for years. We all know the mess it comes in contact with. So… is it actually possible to keep a menstrual cup clean?

We hear this question so often that we decided it was time to clear the air.

Yes. Yes! YES!!!

We care so much about this question that we created THREE products to keep your Pixie Cup clean.

Before you read on, if you prefer to SEE the cleaning process, we have an Instagram Story highlight on our profile that is dedicated to cleaning your Pixie Cup! You can check that out HERE.

So, what are your options if you want to make sure your Pixie Cup stays sparkling clean?

First, we have the Pixie Cup Cup.

Yes, that’s right, it’s literally a cup for your cup, and one of the greatest inventions in the world (we might be a little biased but y’all, we have periods, that’s why Pixie Cup exists today).

All you have to do is take your Pixie Cup, drop it in the Cup Cup, squirt in some soap (more on that later) and pop it in the microwave! Boom! You have a thoroughly sterilized Pixie Cup!

Second, we have the Pixie Cup Wash!

You already know of one way to use this wash, but you can also just use this soap with a little hot water and give your Pixie Cup a scrub!

Third, we have our Pixie Wipes!

If you have a Pixie Cup, you already have three of these little handy items to try for free! These are great to use if you are out and about, they are the perfect size to slip inside your purse, back pocket, or even in your bra! (Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, right?) The Pixie Wipes are MUCH smaller than a tampon and we can almost promise you they will save you from some embarrassing moments if one happens to go flying from your purse at the wrong time… they can pass as a hand napkin!

Remember, if you still have questions about keeping your cup clean, we have an Instagram Story highlight on our profile that is dedicated to cleaning your Pixie Cup!

Pixie Tribe, you are awesome! Stay clean, and stay smiling!
