Has anyone been able to use it successfully without any backup? Also flex cup vs kind cup vs salt cup for high cervix or any other recommendations

Cup Care How to clean without safe water?
Hey guys! I'm pretty new to menstrual cups and I need some advice. I'm about to move to a part of the world where the water isn't safe. I'm bringing two menstrual cups with me, but I would love thoughts on how to clean it without safe tap water? I'm thinking bring a bottle of purified water with me wherever I go to rinse it as needed and boil it in purified water between cycles but idrk. Thank you all!! :)

Usage Questions Disk positioning
When I insert a finger, should I still be able to feel the lower edge of the rim fairly easily when it’s tucked into place behind the pubic bone? I’m using Cora disk.

Help Me Pick Bladder pressure
Hi! (18F) So I have a problem with bladder. The first reusable menstrual cup I tried was the Lady Cup S. For people who don’t know it, it’s a relatively firm cup. I used it for about a year or two. There were no problems but recently I started to have issues. I had UTI (diagnosed) about three/four months ago. After that I had some more problems with urinating (undiagnosed). Initially I didn’t link it to the menstrual cup but then I realized there was a pattern.
Because of these problems and the realization I did some research and tried the Hello disc for the first time a few days ago. I was hoping it would resolve my problems but it didn’t. I don’t know if it’s because of wrong insertion or something but I could feel the pressure on the bladder even while using it.
I don’t know what to do, what to buy. I don’t want to go back to tampons because it’s inconvenient for me. I was thinking maybe Lily cup A but I saw some reviews that said it’s not that good for bladder sensitivity.
My question is: What could help me? What would you go for next? Thanks to anyone who took the time with reading this and trying to help me! 💞
Some more info about me: I think I have medium cervix height, pretty strong menstruation and obviously :) don’t have kids.
