Anyone have a good recommendation for the diva cup wash? One part lol branded soap and another that it has orange oil in it and I'm allergic. I was wondering why my periods were so itchy....

Aren't you supposed to clean it every time you change it?

I rinse my cup under the bathtub tap, I think I'd have to get a pressure washer to get known-allergen-for-me orange off of the drat thing. My knees/elbows were itchy, not the bits.


Yeah, this is one part why I started to clean it with soap after every use. I avoided using tampons for TSS and comfort reasons, and once I heard about TSS in cup users I got more cautious. I used to be a rinse person before then.

Cleaning with hand soap, or only rising gave me labia pimples, too. blegh. They stopped once I started with the regular cup cleanings, too. I'd always wash my hands before a change, as well.
I tend to have really sensitive skin (most skincare stings, wooo) so its not surprising.


Thankya. Will have to find the Canadian equivalent (thanks target :canada:) but now I know the search terms.

Aaaaaaa? Aaaaaaaaa

it was super gross and hurty, but I get told by a doctor to switch up my hygiene regimen before suspecting anything worse. They're gone now!

But my skin, and mucous membranes in this case, are just kind of capricious with some common products. :shrug:

Got some generic feminine wash for the cup and it worked SO MUCH BETTER than the stupid branded diva wash. Clean cup, coochie pimple and urticaria free period that still wiped me out completely on friday so I barely had the energy to get a haircut. Hate having to plan around "sitting in a chair for 1.5 hours" as a stress on the drat system and being relieved that I could sleep for 12 hours the next day.

Hatehatehate that from all of that I'm glad I didn't have to get a blood transfusion like my friend did, from her period.

What I'd give to get a spacefuture where periods are removed and its easy with few side effects.
