All Matters Menstrual Cup
Lower-concern product; silicone menstrual cups have no known PFAS pathway, though brand doesn't explicitly address it.
OrganiCup's menstrual cup is made from medical-grade silicone, a material not associated with PFAS contamination in established literature. Menstrual cups require no water-repellent, non-stick, or stain-resistant coatings, the primary PFAS vectors in consumer goods.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
OrganiCup is manufactured from FDA-approved medical-grade silicone, which is a polymer backbone free of BPA, phthalates, and other endocrine disruptors commonly found in lower-grade plastics. Medical-grade silicone is chemically inert at body temperature and does not leach into fluids or absorb odors over repeated use. The material is non-porous, minimizing bacterial colonization risk when properly maintained, and withstands sterilization by boiling without degradation.
The brand's record and disclosure
OrganiCup publishes detailed material specifications and holds FDA 510(k) clearance, indicating regulatory review of safety and performance. The brand explicitly avoids synthetic dyes and fragrance additives in the cup itself. No product recalls related to chemical contamination or material failure have been recorded. The brand does not publicly address PFAS in marketing, though this is typical for silicone manufacturers and reflects low inherent risk rather than evasion.
How it compares in its category
Menstrual cups rank among the safest reusable menstrual products because they contact internal tissue only intermittently and do not absorb fluid. Medical-grade silicone cups like OrganiCup outperform latex alternatives (latex sensitivity risk, degradation over time) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) cups (potential phthalate or BPA pathways depending on formulation). Cup safety is primarily determined by material grade, not brand reputation, making OrganiCup competitive with other FDA-cleared silicone cups.
If you buy it
Boil or use a dedicated sterilizer before first use and after every cycle; do not use bleach or harsh solvents, which degrade silicone over time. Store in a breathable pouch to prevent moisture trapping. Replace every 5 years or sooner if the cup becomes noticeably discolored, sticky, or torn. During use, empty and rinse every 12 hours or as needed; incomplete emptying increases infection risk, not chemical risk.
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 and leaching
Medical-grade silicone does not hydrolyze or leach harmful compounds at physiological temperatures. No studies document chemical leaching from FDA-cleared silicone menstrual cups. Degradation occurs only after years of use and manifests as surface stickiness or discoloration, signaling replacement.
Bacterial growth and biofilm formation
Any menstrual cup, including OrganiCup, carries low infection risk if not sterilized or rinsed thoroughly between uses. The non-porous silicone surface resists biofilm colonization better than absorbent materials, but improper cleaning can still allow odor-causing bacteria. Regular boiling and air-drying eliminate this risk.
Silicone sensitivity or allergic reaction
True silicone allergy is extremely rare and not documented in menstrual cup user populations. Localized irritation reported anecdotally is typically attributable to insertion technique, residual soap residue, or secondary yeast infection rather than the silicone itself.
Fragrance or additive contamination
OrganiCup contains no added fragrances, dyes, or antimicrobial coatings. The material composition is transparent and matches FDA-approved medical silicone specifications. No incidental fragrance exposure pathway exists.
Heat stability during sterilization
Medical-grade silicone tolerates boiling (100°C) and autoclave sterilization (121°C) without breaking down or releasing volatile compounds. OrganiCup's design includes no adhesives or coatings that could degrade under heat, making sterilization by boiling safe and effective.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 78% 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.
