Diva cup

Unread post by capablehippie »

I have two questions.
1. I accidentally dropped my cup in the toilet (right after I flushed, so there was just water in there), and I picked it up right away and washed it with hot water and unscented ivory soap, what I usually use to wash it. Do I need to do anything else to sanitize it after dropping it in the toilet? Should I boil it?

2. Is it okay to use water based lube to help insert the cup if I'm having difficulties? Will it damage the silicone at all?

Thanks!

I'd boil it, myself, for sure. Lots of bacteria in a toilet bowl. (And I have shared this lovely experience. Argh!)

And yep, it is fine. Water-based lube and anything made out of silicone are safe to use together.
