Natural Stone Drying Place
There are lots of reasons why someone might leave their cup or disc out, but it’s not quite time to sanitize and store yet either.
We found most people were leaving their cups and discs out on their bathroom counters where mold and bacteria can thrive. Yikes!!! We found a safer solution! Instead of leaving your cup in a puddle of water on the counter, The Drying Place is a natural stone that gives your menstrual cups or discs a clean place to rest, where moisture is absorbed like MAGIC!
The Drying Place is made of sand that comes from fossilized algae and its properties are freaking awesome!
Moisture can be a breeding ground for bacteria, however on the Drying Place, the water quickly evaporates right before your eyes! Like magic! When bacteria comes in contact with the surface, the moisture is absorbed almost instantly by the stone, and dries them out quickly so they die.

My drying place is looking dingy, how do I clean it?
You can do a little spot clean with water and rub the places that might look dingy. DO NOT totally submerge your drying place in water for more than a quick moment, this will overwhelm the stone. If the drying place is more wet than usual, lean up against a wall to allow more air flow for it to dry.
