How this score breaks down
Strengths
- Medical-grade silicone cup lasts up to ten years
- Replaces thousands of disposable pads and tampons
- B Corp, woman-owned, gives 2% of profits to period-poverty work
Trade-offs

- A short learning curve when switching from disposables

- Packaging
- Plastic-free; reusable for years
- Microplastics
- Medical-grade silicone is not a petroleum plastic and is not a microplastic source the way plastic is, though as a polymer it can release trace particles or siloxanes, more so with heat and age. Whether silicone forms microplastics is still an open question.
