OrganiCup OrganiWash Menstrual Cup Cleaner and Body Wash - 75ml

What Is OrganiCup OrganiWash Menstrual Cup Cleaner?

Keeping your menstrual cup clean is just as important as choosing the right one. The menstrual cup cleaner from OrganiCup — OrganiWash — is a 75ml dual-purpose wash designed to clean your cup thoroughly and double as a gentle body wash for intimate areas. At just £4.49, it offers an accessible, everyday hygiene solution for anyone who menstruates. If you're looking after your overall women's health, having the right intimate hygiene products in your routine really does make a difference.

OrganiWash is formulated with plant-derived ingredients and is certified vegan. It contains no harsh synthetic fragrances or aggressive detergents, which matters when you're cleaning something that goes inside your body. The NHS advises that the vulva and vaginal area are self-cleaning and that only gentle, unperfumed products should be used externally — OrganiWash aligns with that guidance.

How Does OrganiWash Work to Clean a Menstrual Cup?

OrganiWash works through a combination of mild, plant-derived surfactants and a pH-balanced formula. Surfactants reduce surface tension, allowing the wash to lift menstrual residue, bacteria, and odour from the silicone surface of your cup without degrading the material over time. Here's how the cleaning process works:

• Plant-derived surfactants bind to oils, blood residue, and bacteria on the cup surface.
• The lather lifts contaminants away when rinsed with clean water.
• The pH-balanced formula avoids disrupting the natural vaginal environment if trace amounts remain.
• No harsh chemicals means the medical-grade silicone of most cups is not compromised with regular use.

It's worth noting that thorough rinsing after washing is essential. Any soap residue left on the cup before reinsertion could potentially cause irritation.

Who Should Use OrganiWash and Is It Right for You?

OrganiWash is suitable for a wide range of people. Whether you're new to menstrual cups or have been using one for years, having a dedicated cleaner helps maintain hygiene and extend the life of your cup. It's also gentle enough to use as a daily intimate body wash.

• Menstrual cup users looking for a dedicated, safe cleaner.
• People with sensitive skin who need a fragrance-conscious wash.
• Those seeking a vegan, cruelty-free intimate hygiene product.
• Anyone wanting a travel-friendly 75ml format for on-the-go hygiene.

It is not intended for internal use and should not be used inside the vaginal canal. If you experience recurrent vaginal infections, speak to your GP or pharmacist before introducing new intimate hygiene products.

How Does OrganiWash Compare to Other Menstrual Cup Cleaners?

Is OrganiWash Suitable for Sensitive Skin and How Should It Be Stored?

OrganiWash is designed with sensitive skin in mind. Its plant-derived, low-irritant formula makes it a practical choice for everyday use. As a menstrual cup cleaner, it avoids the harsh detergents found in standard household soaps, which can leave residues that irritate delicate tissue. Always patch-test on a small area of skin if you have a history of contact dermatitis or known ingredient sensitivities.

Store OrganiWash below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. The 75ml size complies with airline liquid restrictions, making it convenient for travel. Check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use and do not use if the product has changed in colour or consistency.

This product is a cosmetic wash, not a medicine. However, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

What Is OrganiWash and What Is It Used For?

OrganiCup OrganiWash is a 75ml liquid wash formulated specifically for cleaning menstrual cups and for use as a gentle external intimate body wash. It is a cosmetic product, not a medicinal one, but it plays an important role in menstrual hygiene. Menstrual cups collect menstrual fluid inside the vaginal canal and must be cleaned thoroughly between uses to prevent the build-up of bacteria and odour. The NHS recommends washing reusable menstrual products carefully with mild, unperfumed soap and water — OrganiWash is designed precisely for this purpose.

Beyond cup cleaning, OrganiWash can be used as a daily wash for the external genital area. It is vegan-certified, free from harsh synthetic fragrances, and formulated to be kind to sensitive skin. It is not intended for internal vaginal use.

What Do You Need to Know Before Using OrganiWash?

OrganiWash is generally well tolerated, but there are some important points to be aware of before you start using it.

Do not use OrganiWash if:

• You are allergic to any of the listed ingredients — always check the full ingredient list on the packaging.
• You have an open wound, broken skin, or active skin infection in the area of application.
• You have been advised by a healthcare professional to avoid scented or surfactant-containing products in the intimate area.

Warnings and precautions:

• For external use only — do not insert into the vagina.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Discontinue use immediately if you notice redness, itching, swelling, or irritation.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, the product is considered safe for external use, but consult your midwife or GP if you have concerns.

Known interactions:

• No known drug interactions — this is a topical cosmetic product.
• Avoid using alongside other strongly fragranced intimate washes, as combined use may increase the risk of skin irritation.

How Should You Use OrganiWash Correctly?

Using OrganiWash correctly ensures both effective cleaning and the best protection for your skin. Follow these steps each time you clean your menstrual cup or use it as a body wash.

1. Remove your menstrual cup and empty the contents into the toilet.
2. Rinse the cup under clean, running water to remove visible residue.
3. Apply a small amount of OrganiWash (a pea-sized amount is sufficient) to the cup surface.
4. Lather gently with your fingers, paying attention to the rim and air holes.
5. Rinse thoroughly under running water until all soap residue is removed.
6. Allow the cup to air dry before reinserting or storing.
7. For use as a body wash, apply a small amount to wet skin, lather, and rinse thoroughly.

What Are the Possible Side Effects of OrganiWash?

OrganiWash is designed to minimise the risk of irritation, but as with any topical product, side effects can occasionally occur. Most people use it without any issues at all.

Common side effects (may affect a small number of users):

• Mild skin dryness with very frequent use.
• Temporary mild redness if applied to already-irritated skin.

Less common side effects:

• Contact dermatitis (itching, rash, or swelling) in individuals with ingredient sensitivities.
• Stinging sensation if used on broken or inflamed skin.
• Allergic reaction — rare, but seek medical advice promptly if you notice hives, significant swelling, or difficulty breathing.

If you develop symptoms of a vaginal infection such as unusual discharge, odour, or itching, this is unlikely to be caused by OrganiWash but should be assessed by a GP. You can also explore our cystitis and bladder infection section if you're experiencing related urinary symptoms.

How Should You Store OrganiWash?

• Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.
• Do not store in a steamy bathroom environment for prolonged periods, as heat and humidity can affect product quality.
• Keep out of reach and sight of children.
• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
• Do not freeze.
• If the product changes colour, smell, or consistency, discontinue use and dispose of it safely.
