Just curious.  I saw on the website that you are suppose to boil it?  I think my DH would get so creaped out seeing it on the stovetop!

I boil it after DH leaves for work.

Hee hee heeee......

I clean it with water during menstruation.  Before putting it away for the month i wash it with gentle soap (every month) and then boil it (if i remember).

I clean it up with soap and an old toothbrush regularly and I'll boil it on occassion - secretly when DH isn't around.

I also store it in a container with a little baking soda between cycles.

Ok got to boil it in secret.  Got it!

Kore!

I soak mine in hydrogen peroxide. Good as new.

I boil it in the bottom half of the double boiler... DH told me not to use anything else.  Because I'm the fool who made the mistake of telling him I was going to boil it.  Sometimes I feel like I'm married to a big baby.

I boil it. 

DH even adds water if the pot gets low and will turn it off when the timer beeps if he is closest.

I rinse during the day and use soap and water in the AM.

I didn't boil it last time but this time is much more "real" period for me (I've only been spotting the last two months) so I'll boil.

I've boiled it in the microwave.

I don't think that's the recommended method, but it can't boil dry that way, and I figure nothing will survive a microwave and boiling.

I do admit - I don't boil it every month. I've never had an infection or anything. As long as it's well rinsed with soapy water, I think it's fine.

I wash it with Dr. B's baby mild after each time I empty it, and boil it once a month on the stove for 10 minutes.  I do boil it in secret.

Pescalita

I rinse it each time I empty and wash with Dr.B's a few times a cycle + at the beginning and end.

Probably every other cycle or so I either boil it with half water & half vinegar or soak it in hydrogen peroxide overnight. The H2O2 works best IMO, at least visibly.

buahaha I boil in secret too! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's DH would be totally grossed out by this!

LOL @ the boiling in secret.

I wash with soap & water between insertions.  Every so often I'll let is soak overnight is 50% hydrogen peroxide and 50% water, which cleans and removes stains.

i wash mine with divawash during my cycle, at the end i boil it and store it in it's pouch until next cycle.  DH questioned my boiling it at first, but i told him to get over it!
