always wise to do a bit of research on the
material.

Silicone menstrual cup and TPE menstrual cup are
the two most common types of period cups
available in the current market. In terms of
sale, both are doing great
8
and when it comes to appearance, both looks
similar at the initial glace. But the truth is
both are manufactured out of materials having
different properties and limitations.

1. TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) Menstrual Cup

• TPE tooling is cost cutting, since it requires
  less energy to prepare products out of it
• TPE can be easily dyed and re-moulded

10

• TPE products can be melted without much effort
  and be re-purposed after use. In short, it is
  recyclable
• TPE menstrual cups can be reused for 3 5 years
  at a stretch

11

• TPE is products are soft to touch
• TPE has high compression strength which makes its
  products lose their shape in the course of time

12

• Since TPE has low melting point, it can be
  sterilized but cannot be exposed to chemical
  sterilization and high temperature
• TPE is gaining popularity rapidly

13
2. Silicone Menstrual Cups

• LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) aka Medical Grade
  Silicone is expensive since extra cost is
  required to cure the silicone after manufacturing
• LSR is great in terms of tear/tensile strength

14

• LSR is not recyclable but can be ground down and
  used to create various high impact sporting
  surfaces
• Silicone menstrual cups can be reused for 10 12
  years at a stretch

15

• Since LSR has low compression strength, it does
  not lose its shape even after placing under large
  amounts of pressure for a long time
• LSR can be chemically sterilized and heated at
  high temperature

16

• Since LSR is odour free and hypoallergenic, it
  bears the highest compatibility rate for using
  inside a human body. It is also the most
  preferred one, medically

With the mentioned details, now it will be easier
for you to make the final decision while
selecting the best menstrual cup.
