your doctor that you are having your period and have used a
menstrual cup.
Risk groups: TSS can occur in all menstruating women using a
menstrual cup. Women under 30 have an increased risk. If you
have any questions about TSS please contact your gynaecologist.
8. Safekeeping, service life, storage and transport
To store and transport the cup, place the clean, dry menstrual
cup into the cotton bag provided.
We recommend replacing the menstrual cup with a new one
after a maximum of 5 years, if you use it normally and follow the
cleaning instructions as specified.
9. Cleaning and disposal instructions
Before first use and after every period: Boil the ELANEE
Menstrual Cup in a pot for 3 minutes, immersed in water.
During your period: After emptying it, clean the menstrual cup
thoroughly with mild soap and rinse it under running water. If
it is not possible to rinse the cup (e.g. when in a public toilet),
then you can wipe it out with toilet paper or a tissue and clean it
properly the next time you have the opportunity.
The menstrual cup can be disposed of along with normal
household waste. Please separate the individual packaging
components and dispose of them in the relevant recycling
system. Please be aware of regional disposal guidelines.
