Microwave steaming can destroy up to 99.9% of most harmful germs and bacteria and each bag can be used up to 20 times. Bag size is approximately 21cm high x 28cm wide.
CAUTION:Â Microwave sterilisation bags contain HOT boiling water – Please follow instructions and take care when using. Keep out of reach of children.
Instructions for use:
- Pour 60ml of cold water (approx 8 tablespoons) into the bag. Place washed menstrual cup inside bag and then seal the bag tightly.
- Place steriliser bag in the centre of the microwave turntable, standing upright. Warning: DO NOT use this bag if your microwave is too small for the bag to fully rotate on the turntable.
- Microwave on full power for:
- 1100W (and above): 1.5 minutes
- 800 – 1100W: 3 minutes
- 500 – 800W: 5 minutes
- Once the cycle is complete, leave the bag to stand in the microwave for 5 minutes. The bag may still be extremely hot so use a cloth, towel or oven glove to remove it from the microwave.
- Keeping the bag sealed, carefully pour away any excess water through the side vent.
- Open the seal and remove your menstrual cup from the bag very carefully as the cup may still be hot.
- Allow the steriliser bag to dry naturally and ‘tick’ the front of the pouch as indicated before storage.
- If the bag is damaged, do not use and discard immediately.
Microwave steriliser bag FAQ's
No. Microwave steriliser bags are only suitable for use in a microwave.
Yes, so long as it’s no too crowded in there! If you find that you need a couple of different types of menstrual cup or disc during your period, you can sterilise all at the same time in the microwave steriliser bag.
No. Do not add soap or any other form of cleaning product to the steriliser bag. The steam produced by the boiling water is enough to thoroughly sanitise your menstrual cup or disc.
We recommend sterilising your menstrual cup or disc at the beginning and end of your period.

Love these steriliser bags – a few minutes in the microwave is much more convenient than boiling a cup.
