Default Ladies, any Diva's out there?

Just wondering if the ships water will be hot enough to feel like it is really clean? At home I boil it. I can't imagine having to use another product. I love my diva esp for swimming, snorkling etc.

Thanks,
Monica

I'm sure not a Diva because I don't know what you're talking about.

I know what she's talking about, and no I don't use the product.

Depends on your ship on how hot the water is in your stateroom, but usually it's not THAT hot, they don't want to scald guests. You can get hot water in a cup on most ships in the buffet area, they usually have it in the area where they have hot coffee, so guests can make tea. That's probably the hottest water you can find on the ship unless you are crew.

But please take it back to you room before using!

I was trying to be as discrete as possible but I really need to know the answer so just google diva cup. It's a time of the month product.

Thanks

Yikes! Don't think I would try that. Maybe I don't have to clean it that well? Maybe soap and water will work.

Have you tried it? Totally changed my life. LOVE it!

Gotcha!
Depends on what ship you are on. I like really hot showers. I KNOW it's not good for the skin but I'm usually very pink when I"m done. I've been on ships where the water was even too hot for me. I was surprised that there didn't seem to be any maximum you couldn't go beyond.

Lightbulb I've used one for years

...about 6 years now I think, and I've never even thought of boiling mine. I use hot water and soap daily, and often soak it in rubbing alcohol at the end of my cycle.

I know I'm weird. It just seems cleaner to me when I boil it. Well, actually I just pour boiling water over it. But the alcohol gave me an idea. I think I will bring along those alcohol pads. That way I can wash it with soap and water and then use the alcohol to sanitize it. Thanks for the idea!
