Frequently asked questions about our menstrual sponges:
Can I wear an IUD in combination with the HERA menstrual sponge?
Can I wear an IUD in combination with the HERA menstrual sponge?
- Not every menstrual product is suitable for use with an IUD. For example, the menstrual cup can be problematic due to the negative pressure (vacuum) it creates, as it could pull the IUD out of your body. In contrast, the soft material of the menstrual sponge does not create negative pressure, so you can use it with an IUD without any problems.

- It is recommended to change and wash menstrual sponges every 2-3 hours, but no later than 8 hours. You can then rinse the sponge thoroughly with tap water and reinsert it immediately or use a different sponge. Don't forget to let the sponge that is not currently in use air dry thoroughly before storing it in the sanitary bag.
The sponges are reusable for at least three cycles. With careful care, they can also be used beyond this period - the duration of use depends on your personal care and the intensity of your period. However, the sponges should not be used for longer than a year. After their useful life, they can be disposed of in organic waste, where they will decompose naturally, which means 0% waste for you and the environment.

- To clean the menstrual sponges optimally, we recommend using our Athenapure cleaning stick before and after your period. (Alternatively, you can also place the sponges in a water-vinegar bath with a ratio of 2:1, but the effectiveness of this method is not guaranteed.) Here you can find detailed step-by-step instructions on how to use it:
- Wash your hands : Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the sponge or sponges or the cleaning tabs!
- Prepare water : Fill a bowl with 500 ml of lukewarm or cold water.
- Add Purifying Tablet : Add an Athenapure Purifying Tablet to the water.
- Soak the sponge : Place the menstrual sponges in the solution and make sure they are completely covered by the liquid and the tab dissolves.
- Soaking time : Let the sponges soak in the cleaning solution for at least 20 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly : After soaking, rinse the sponges thoroughly first with cold water and then with lukewarm water.
- Application or drying : Gently squeeze the sponges to remove excess water and insert one sponge (or two for double leak protection) for use with the tweezer handle or leave them to dry completely in a dry and well-ventilated place. The bathroom is not suitable for this. Also, do not dry the sponges on radiators or with a hairdryer.
