Caution:
Sea Sponges and Toxic Shock Syndrome

• Always be aware of the symptoms of TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome); this is a rare condition associated with internal menstrual products.
• Sea sponges are natural and do not cause dryness or abrasion; they are less likely than ordinary tampons to trigger TSS.

Directions:
Before first use:

• Check and clean your sponges before first use. You may find small shell particles and coral fragments in the sponges; simply rinse and rub them out of the sponge.
• Like tampons, sea sponges are not sterile. Soak your sponge in a cup of warm water with a little vinegar to disinfect it, then allow it to air-dry.
• Can be used for 3 – 6 menstrual cycles.

Insertion:

• Wet your sponge with warm water until soft. Squeeze out the excess water.
• Squash the sponge and gently insert it as you would a tampon, until it feels secure.
• You can also trim the perimeter of your sponge a little at a time until you are comfortable with the size.

Removal:

• Feel along the perimeter of the sponge, grasp it, and pull gently; sponges are delicate and can tear easily.

Cleaning:

• During your cycle, simply remove and rinse your menstrual sponge with warm water after each trip to the toilet or when it is full.
• Gently squeeze out the excess water before re-inserting the sponge.

Care Instructions:

• Between each cycle, disinfect your sponge and do NOT use soap or detergent.
• Soak the sponge in warm water and vinegar for 10 minutes, then leave to air-dry.
• You can also add a few drops of Lavender or Tea Tree Oil to the water when disinfecting your sponges.
• When not in use, store in a cool, dry and clean place out of direct sunlight.

Sea sponges and Veganism:
By definition, sea sponges are classified as animals, not plants; however, sponges have no organs, brains, or nervous systems, so they do not feel pain. When harvested correctly, sea sponges are not injured; they grow back stronger and release spores to form new sponges. This process is similar to pruning a plant to keep it healthy. Some vegans might feel that using a natural sea sponge contradicts the vegan belief system or lifestyle, while others may not. The choice is yours to make.
