cup etiquette?

[manicfrog.livejournal.com]

i was at a friend's house the other day & we were discussing my diva cup. i mentioned that you typically empty it out into the toilet & rinse in the sink, which he thought was sort of gross (the whole "period residue in the sink" thing). he thought that it would be better to rinse off in the shower.

so my question is: when the time comes to empty your cup & you happen to be at someone else's house, do you go ahead & rinse it in the sink, or would you just clean with toilet paper (as though you were in a public restroom) or rinse in the shower?

Depending on the bathroom layout... I would not think twice about emptying my cup in the toilet then rinsing in the sink. It's what I do at home, and I would be kind of curious if someone used the toilet in our house but I then heard the shower running.

That said, I know my bathroom back home in Australia has the toilet separated from the bathroom and its sink, as do other friends' houses here - in that case, I'd empty the cup in the toilet and give it a bit of a wipe down with toilet paper, then wash it with hot water next chance I got. (In the shower if I'm home.)
