Reminder!
Store in a dry and cool area.
Never use Sierras cup for more than 12 hours at a time without proper washing.
Never wash your Sierras cup with anything that may irritate your vagina if it's not thoroughly washed off the cup before reinserting.
Avoid harsh cleansers like vinegar or bleach, as well as strongly scented or fragranced cleansers that may cause the silicone to deteriorate.
Avoid soaking the Sierras cup in anything other than water. Silicone is a porous material and can absorb oils or cleansers if exposed for longer periods; these substances may irritate your vagina or cause the silicone to deteriorate.
Sierras Cup is made of durable silicone that can last up to 5 years with proper care. We recommend replacing your period cup every 2-3 years. You should replace it if it has any tears, holes, or is no longer in good condition.
If you wear an IUD, please consult your doctor before using your cup to understand the risks and benefits.
