AllMatters Menstrual Disc Starter Kit
Lower-concern product; silicone discs rarely contain PFAS, but brand offers no transparency on processing.
AllMatters menstrual discs are made from medical-grade silicone, a material not typically associated with PFAS use. However, the brand does not publicly disclose PFAS testing or manufacturing details. No third-party certifications or PFAS claims found in public materials.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
AllMatters Menstrual Disc is constructed from medical-grade silicone, a synthetic polymer engineered for biocompatibility and repeated insertion into the vaginal canal. Medical-grade silicone is typically cross-linked and cured to resist degradation, leaching, and allergic reaction; it does not contain BPA, phthalates, or plasticizers that migrate into body fluids. The disc geometry (shallow, wide shape fitting the vaginal fornix rather than the cervix) differs from traditional cups, reducing pressure on vaginal tissue and potentially lowering irritation risk.
The brand's record and disclosure
AllMatters is a Swedish company focused on menstrual health products; public information on third-party testing or certifications (e.g., FDA clearance, CE marking, ISO 10993 biocompatibility) is not widely documented in accessible sources, though the product is marketed in EU and UK markets. The brand has not published detailed material sourcing, sterilization method, or manufacturing transparency reports. No product recalls or safety complaints are on public record as of available information. The brand's silence on PFAS processing limits confidence in supply-chain oversight.
How it compares in its category
Menstrual discs occupy a narrower niche than cups; AllMatters is one of few brands offering this form factor. Compared to traditional silicone cups (Diva Cup, Saalt), the disc's wider, shallower design may reduce vaginal wall contact and irritation for some users. Compared to disposable discs (Flex, Nixit), the reusable silicone disc avoids single-use plastic waste but depends on proper cleaning and storage. Medical-grade silicone is the category standard for safety; no documented advantage or disadvantage versus competitors on this metric.
If you buy it
Boil or steam the disc before first use and monthly if desired (silicone withstands heat up to ~200°C, well above vaginal temperature). Rinse with warm water and mild soap after each use; avoid prolonged contact with oils, petroleum jelly, or silicone-based lubricants, which can degrade the material over time. Replace the disc if you notice tears, discoloration, stickiness, or persistent odor that resists washing. Store in a breathable pouch in a cool, dry place to prevent mold growth in the folds.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Silicone degradation with repeated use and heat
Medical-grade silicone is durable but can lose elasticity or develop microscopic tears after hundreds of insertion cycles, especially if exposed to high-heat sterilization or oil-based products. No documented failure rate exists for AllMatters specifically; user reports and longevity vary.
Allergic or irritant reaction to silicone or additives
Medical-grade silicone is biocompatible and rarely triggers reactions, but individuals with silicone sensitivity or latex cross-reactivity may experience localized irritation. AllMatters does not specify residual catalyst levels or additives (e.g., platinum used in cure) that could theoretically cause sensitivity in extremely rare cases.
Bacterial colonization if improperly cleaned or stored
The disc's fold and groove geometry can trap fluid and bacteria if rinsed with cold water only or stored wet. This is a use-and-maintenance issue rather than material toxicity but carries infection risk (bacterial vaginosis, toxic shock syndrome in extreme cases).
Microplastic shedding or fragmentation
Medical-grade silicone does not shed microplastics under normal use; concern is theoretical only if the material tears internally and sheds fragments. No reports exist for AllMatters or comparable disc products.
Heavy metals or contaminants in raw silicone resin
Medical-grade silicone is refined to stringent purity standards and is unlikely to contain lead, cadmium, or other heavy metals. AllMatters provides no third-party test results to confirm; assume compliance with EU/UK safety regulations for intravaginal devices.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
