How do I clean
The Alicia™?
You can clean your
Alicia™ with a rinse through of warm/hot
water. Cold water is ok (for example when
in a public toilet and carrying a water
bottle). Re-rinse The Alicia™ with warm/hot
water at the next convenient time. Some
women use mild/antibacterial/ or non-smelling
soap to rinse their menstrual pod between
changes. The tiny holes below the rim should
be kept clean by holding the rim between
two hands and rubbing backwards and forwards
which will create a circular motion to ensure
proper cleaning.
It is not advised to use any chemical such
as peroxide nor bleach when cleaning The
Alicia™ as this may damage the quality of
the product as well as be harmful to yourself.
Always be aware of the ingredients used
if purchasing a "cleaning" product!
How can I rinse out
The Alicia™ in a public toilet?
Public facilities
vary from place to place. Therefore some
women avoid the issue of rinsing their Alicia™
in a public toilet, waiting for a more private
convenient time to do so. Women who are
open about their use of The Alicia™
will simply rinse their Alicia™ out
in the public sink and return to the toilet
stall to re-insert their Alicia™,
while others will carry a bottle of water
with them and rinse their Alicia™
within their toilet stall.
An alternative is to carry a pre-moistened
towel/towelette with you so that you may
wipe off The Alicia™ and your hands.
The Alicia™ International will be
making available a new range of natural
“non allergenic” bio-degradable
wipes. If you would like to know when this
product will be available EMAIL

Can I sterilise The
Alicia™ and how do I do it?
Yes! You can sterilise
The Alicia™. Simply
place The Alicia™ in an open pan of
boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Do not use
harmful chemicals such as peroxide or bleaches
as it may damage the materials in The Alicia™.
How frequently should
I clean The Alicia™?
When in use, The Alicia™
should be emptied and cleaned a minimum
of twice per day, with an unscented soap.
It should always be then rinsed in clean
water before re-using, if possible, as soap
particles could irritate the vagina. The
Alicia™ can be sterilized in between the
times of menstruation. Avoid using products
to clean it that aren't recommended for
internal use, such as scented bath soaps,
bleaches or detergents.
What if there's no
clean water available?
You can simply wipe
out The Alicia™ with toilet paper on the
inside. Make sure it is cleaned properly
at a more convenient time. It is best to
carry a small water bottle during times
when using The Alicia™ to avoid this.
