That's so funny about your dog! You should tell PIMP about that, they'd get a kick out of it.
They are expensive at first but SO much cheaper than buying stuff every single month. I don't have a uterus mostly, but just enough that I get monthly spotting, they are great. I got a couple for my daughter to try out and ended up getting her a complete set. Like me, she is also both a cheapskate and environmentally conscious so they are perfect for her. I actually had gotten her a diva cup too but she never successfully used it, I think she never tried it out even.
There's no problem at all washing them.
