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!

Re: Diva cup
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.
