The Silicone-Free Menstrual Cup

The Tampon Tribe menstrual cup is a silicone-free reusable menstrual cup made in Germany from human-safe medical-grade TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) rather than silicone. It holds up to 12 hours depending on flow, is latex-free, BPA-free and phthalate-free, and comes in two sizes: Medium (25ml capacity, 43mm diameter, 67mm long) for those under 25 who have not given birth vaginally, and Large (30ml, 46mm, 66mm) for everyone else. A single cup is $39.99, or $69.99 for both sizes.

TPE vs silicone

TPE warms to body temperature, so the cup softens to your shape after insertion. It is the material choice for anyone avoiding silicone. Most major cups — Saalt, DivaCup and Mooncup among them — publish their composition as 100% medical-grade silicone. See the full Tampon Tribe cup vs Saalt comparison.
