Do you use the DivaWash to clean it, or something else?

I have a bottle of the DW and love how it smells but I'm quite sure not everyone who uses a Diva uses the wash. WDYU?

I use whatever shower soap I happen to have.

I clean it with handsoap if available when I empty it, and soak it in a hydrogen peroxide solution when I'm not wearing it.

I use regular hand soap to wash it.  I boil it once per month for 15-20 minutes.  I would avoid using any antibacterial soap on it, since if you don't get it all washed off, I think that could bring on a yeast infection.

Ditto this, we use Dr. Bronner's baby mild as hand soap specifically so I can wash the Diva, but DH doesn't know that

On the instructions, it says not to use castile soap on the diva cup. I'm not sure why - but I thought I'd pass that info along. I asked about it on the nest a while back, but no one could come up with reasons for why they recommend against it (I make all of our hand soaps using castile soap).

I use dove sensitive skin/unscented and warm water to wash it.

I "scrub" with my fingers and hot water when i empty it, then wash with diluted dr. b's and boil it after every cycle.

I saw that too.  I just said "eff it."  Dr.B's is the only soap we have in the house.  So I use the baby mild and hope it's mild enough.

Whatever foaming hand soap I have & boil monthly.  Really hot water when I wash it.

It's diluted in a foaming soap pump, so I also said "eff it."  I've had my Diva almost a year now, using Dr. B's with no problems.

I scrub it with whatever soap is around in the washroom, with hot water.  When I'm in the shower, I use the toenail scrubber and lots of soap.  I soak it in peroxide once every two months, and boil it once a month.
