Learn the step-by-step routine for using a menstrual cup beginner kit with Milton tabs, from first insertion to daily cleaning and sanitizing between cycles.
Quick answer
Start with the MeLuna Classic cup in the size that matches your flow, then use the included Milton Mini Tablets for a simple cold-water disinfection routine between uses.
Why a beginner kit makes cup use easier
A menstrual cup beginner kit bundles the cup with a cleanser and disinfecting tablets, so you don't have to track down separate supplies. The MeLuna Classic cup is customizable by size, handle style, and color, which means you can adjust the kit to your body and preferences from the start. The included Milton Mini Tablets handle cold-water disinfection, so you don't need to boil the cup or buy a separate sanitizer.
Know the limits of this kit
The kit includes the cup and Milton Mini Tablets, but it does not include a dedicated storage pouch or brush. You'll need to rinse the cup with water during your cycle and store it in a breathable container between uses. The Milton tablets are for disinfection, not for removing stains; a gentle rinse or soak in warm water usually handles residue before you sanitize.
Step-by-Step Cup Cleaning Routine
- Step 1: Choose your cup size and handle style: Before your first use, select the cup size and handle style that match your flow and comfort. The MeLuna Classic Cup in the kit offers options, so pick the size that fits your body and a handle you can grip easily. Check the sizing guide before your first cycle so you don't have to switch mid-use.
- Step 2: Sanitize the cup before first use: Place the cup in a container with cold water and one Milton Mini Tablet. Follow the tablet instructions for the required soak time, then rinse the cup with clean water. This disinfects the cup before your first insertion. Always rinse after soaking—Milton is a disinfectant, not a rinse-free solution.
- Step 3: Wash hands and fold the cup: Wash your hands thoroughly, then fold the cup using the punch-down or C-fold. Keep the fold secure while inserting at a comfortable angle. A common mistake is rushing the fold and losing grip, so take your time. Practice the fold a few times before your period to build confidence.
- Step 4: Insert and adjust the cup: Insert the folded cup and let it open. Rotate it gently to create a seal. Check that the cup is not folded and that the rim is fully expanded. If you feel discomfort, adjust the angle or try a different fold. A proper seal means you should not feel the cup once inserted; if you do, remove and reinsert.
- Step 5: Remove and rinse during your cycle: Empty the cup every 4–12 hours depending on your flow. Rinse it with cold water between insertions; the included cleanser supports routine cleaning during your cycle. Always wash your hands before and after removal to keep the cup clean.
- Step 6: Sanitize with Milton Mini Tablets after your cycle: After your period, dissolve a Milton Mini Tablet in cold water and soak the cup according to the tablet instructions. This disinfection step prepares the cup for storage until your next cycle. Check the tablet's water temperature and soaking time before use; cold water disinfection is the intended method for this kit.
