How do you clean your cup?

Question

Trying to figure out the best way to clean my cup. I’ve heard some people say they just rinse every time they dump and boil at the end of the cycle, and some use soap. 
I didn’t know to buy the cup cleaner when I got my cup, so I’ve just been using the rinse/boil method, but now I’m worried that’s not sanitary enough 😬

Answer

When my period first starts I boil it for 15 minutes at the beginning of my period. Other than that just rinse with really really hot water in the sink after every dump.
Don’t like the idea of soap inside my vagina, even if it’s been rinsed off.

Answer

You should be regularly sanitising them. At the minute my “cup routine” is as follows until I buy myself another cup to use at night:
When my period arrives, I boil the cup, let it cool, then insert. 
I rinse every time I empty the cup (about 2-3 times a day depending) with hot water, and make sure any blood or clots have gone away. 
At the end of the day, I take it out, put a pad on for the night, rinse with hot water again. 
I repeat that processes every day meaning it is always boiled every morning whilst I’m on my period. When my period finished I sterilise it again before it goes away until next time!

I rinse in between and wash with diva soap once a day. Then I boil once a cycle. If it darkens I soak in hydrogen peroxide overnight and then boil. I think that’s been about every 6 months
