So you’ve discovered the magic of the menstrual disc 🙌 — now let’s talk cleaning. Keeping your disc fresh and safe is easy once you know the right tricks.
Sanitising Your Disc Between Cycles
Your disc only needs a deep sanitise once before each period cycle. Daily rinses during your period are enough — the big clean is for before you start bleeding again.
Option 1: Boil It 🍲
- Pop your disc into a saucepan of boiling water for 3 minutes.
- Make sure it’s fully submerged and floating around.
- Pro tip: Pop it inside a metal whisk to keep it off the base.
- Remove with tongs, and run under cold water if you’re using it straight away (save your vajajay from the heat 😅).
Option 2: Microwave It ⚡
- Place your disc in a microwave-safe container with freshly boiled water.
- Heat on high for 3 minutes, leaving the lid slightly ajar.
- Careful when taking it out — the water will be hot and spill-prone.
Option 3: Hey Zomi Cleaning Tablets 💊
Our fave. Hey Zomi Cleaning Tablets sanitise your disc without the faff of boiling. Just dissolve, drop, fizz — done. Bonus: they’re safe for overnight soaks and tackle stains like a pro.

Stains Happen (Here’s How to Handle Them)
Menstrual discs can stain over time — totally normal. If you want to freshen things up:
- Soak overnight in a Hey Zomi cleaning tablet solution.
- For stubborn spots, rub gently with a cloth dipped in the solution.
Skip hydrogen peroxide soaks 🚫 — they’re not tested on medical-grade silicone and can damage thin-walled discs like Hey Zomi.
