I would think boiling would be a necessity for those who use them. But I'm still curious about these cups.
OK, how can I put this delicately??? Sensitive readers may wish to skip.
There are "items" routinely placed in the same locale as the cup which are washed daily with soap and water (we ladies hope) but never boiled.
Anyhow, I've had a Keeper for over a decade and have never boiled it. Wash in hot soapy water morning and night in the shower and emptied every time I use the restroom. I've had no bacterial infections and a greatly reduced instance of yeast infections compared to when I used tampons. Can't even remember the last one.
