Also curious about this! Apart from the monthly sterilising it’s recommended to wash your hands before handling the cup, which would happen every 5-10 hours or so when you need to remove and reinsert it. I know I’ve personally decided against wearing a cup when staying at places with limited running water and soap for fear of infection (like when camping). But similar to other commenters have no good sense of the real risks of this and would be keen to find out.
Anecdotal, but I have worked on trail crews /​ outdoor jobs (including crews that were 100% women) and we all used cups for multiple months at a time with no problems. Many women in the outdoors community in the U.S. (forest service, wildland firefighting, long distance trail hikers) swear by them.
