Yes. Improper cleaning is a major factor that could damage your cup, such as putting it in the dishwasher (it can withstand the heat, but the chemicals in the dishwasher are another story). Improper storage is also another risk factor. Always wash it properly, and then store it in its pouch and away from extreme temperatures, children, and pets. If you treat it well, your Silky Cup (reusable menstrual cup) should last you up to ten years.
I’m going through menopause and my periods can be irregular. Can I still use Silky Cup?
Absolutely! Also, due to the fact that Silky Cup is non-absorbent, it may be your best choice during this stage in your life. Even if your period doesn’t begin when expected, the dryness should not make you uncomfortable or affect you in any way.
