AllMatters Menstrual Cup
Lower PFAS concern; silicone menstrual cups are not a known PFAS vector, but brand offers no transparency.
OrganiCup's menstrual cup is made from medical-grade silicone, a non-fluorinated elastomer with no established PFAS risk profile in period-care. However, the brand does not publicly disclose PFAS testing, sourcing, or manufacturing standards. No third-party verification or PFAS-free claims found in standard product documentation.

No PFAS disclosure
No public statement about PFAS in this product.
Safe base material
Made from a material with no inherent PFAS use (ceramic, mineral, or natural fiber).
The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
OrganiCup is manufactured from medical-grade silicone, a synthetic polymer that does not contain BPA, phthalates, or latex. Medical-grade silicone is inert when in contact with body fluids and does not leach endocrine disruptors or other additives under normal use conditions. The material is thermally stable well above body temperature and does not degrade into microplastics during typical insertion, wear, and removal cycles.
The brand's record and disclosure
OrganiCup provides minimal transparency on PFAS content or manufacturing controls, listing only basic material certification (medical-grade silicone) without third-party PFAS testing or public disclosure. The brand has no known product safety recalls or documented contaminant findings in published health reports. While the lack of proactive PFAS communication is a transparency gap, the absence of reported incidents does not indicate a hidden hazard.
How it compares in its category
Menstrual cups occupy a low-risk category overall because they are not heated, not ingested, and not stored with food. OrganiCup's medical-grade silicone is comparable to or more rigorously specified than many competitors (e.g., Saalt, Lunette, Flex). Latex and lower-grade silicone cups pose slightly higher allergen or degradation risk; OrganiCup avoids both.
If you buy it
Wash and dry the cup thoroughly before each use and after your cycle; do not boil beyond the brand's recommended temperature range (typically under 80 degrees Celsius) as prolonged heat can degrade silicone over years of use. Replace the cup if you notice visible cracks, discoloration, or persistent odor that cleaning does not resolve. Store in a breathable pouch, not sealed plastic, to prevent mold growth during off-cycle periods.
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 over extended use
Medical-grade silicone is highly durable, but repeated boiling, exposure to harsh cleaners, or storage in direct heat may accelerate microscopic breakdown over 5+ years of use. No data suggests this releases toxins; replacement intervals of 5-10 years are standard and precautionary.
Microbial growth if poorly maintained
Improper washing or storage in humid/sealed conditions can promote bacterial or fungal colonization on the cup surface, causing infection risk rather than chemical hazard. This is a hygiene issue, not a material issue, and is user-controlled.
Allergic reaction to silicone or additives
Medical-grade silicone allergy is rare; OrganiCup does not disclose specific additives or vulcanization catalysts, but no published cases of hypersensitivity to this product have been documented. Risk is lower than latex cups.
Absorption or leaching of menstrual fluid components
Silicone is non-porous and does not absorb blood or tissue fluids; it is inert to the body's biochemistry. No mechanism exists for the cup to leach or concentrate harmful substances from menstrual fluid.
Manufacturing contaminants (heavy metals, solvents)
OrganiCup has not faced published recalls or testing alerts for lead, cadmium, or residual manufacturing solvents. Medical-grade silicone standards typically require verification of these; the brand's silence does not indicate a known problem.
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.
