hmm. i just looked at the keeper website. they claim that this cup lasts 10 years so long as you only wash it with mild soap and no harsh chemicals. it's made of gum rubber...seems like silicone might be better...
they recommend simply taking it out and emptying it, then wiping it off with tissues or rinsing with clear water, and reinserting it. then, at the end of your period, you just wash it with mild soap, let it dry completely, and put it back into its handy carrying pouch.
interesting. i wonder if any keeper users have had trouble with infections...
