That was dumb

My nightmare finally happened. I dropped my cup into the toilet bowl. The good thing is that I'd just flush minutes before, so the water is clean, and the cup is now soaking in a hydrogen peroxide mix with water as I don't have the opportunity to boil it (it's Christmas on my end and mom's in the kitchen- she doesn't know I use a cup and would be grossed out if she did).

My question is: is leaving the cup in for about 2 hours enough to disinfect? I ask cause this is the second day of my period and it's usually the heaviest, so I'm hoping to have to deal with just ONE pad instead of many.

Thanks and blessed Christmas to all!
