Is The Hygina sanitary?
A. Yes, when used as directed, The Hygina is more sanitary than pads or tampons. The Hygina is made from top quality, healthcare grade silicone, which is 100% latex-free, plastic-free, BPA-free and odorless. It is non-absorbent and does not disrupt one’s natural vaginal environment. The vagina is self-cleansing and continually producing fluid that “flushes” the vagina. Tampons (rayon and cotton) absorb this protective fluid and can disrupt the normal acidic vaginal environment. Remember to wash and rinse your hands before inserting and removing your Hygina. Wash your Hygina well with water before insertion. It must be washed with mild soap after each cycle. Also, it should be boiled for 20 minutes at the end of each cycle. Please review the Cleaning and Caring category in the FAQs for boiling instructions.
