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 www.pmyescups.com
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. www.pmyescups.com
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 www.pmyescups.com
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 www.pmyescups.com
TPE is products are soft to touch • TPE has high compression strength which makes its products lose their shape in the course of time www.pmyescups.com
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 www.pmyescups.com
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 www.pmyescups.com
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 www.pmyescups.com
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 www.pmyescups.com
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 www.pmyescups.com
With the mentioned details, now it will be easier for you to make the final decision while selecting the best menstrual cup. www.pmyescups.com
