AllMatters Menstrual Cup Size Mini, (Formerly OrganiCup)
Lower PFAS concern; medical-grade silicone menstrual cup with no known fluorinated treatments.
OrganiCup/AllMatters uses medical-grade silicone, a non-fluorinated elastomer with no disclosed water-repellent or grease-resistant coatings, typical material categories with lower PFAS risk. The brand provides no explicit PFAS testing or certification.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
AllMatters/OrganiCup uses medical-grade silicone (typically FDA-compliant FDA CFR 177.2600 silicone elastomer) for the cup body and stem, a non-porous material with minimal leaching risk. Medical-grade silicone is inherently free of BPA, phthalates, and most endocrine disruptors because it is a cross-linked polymer without plasticizers or reactive precursors. The Mini size is designed for lighter flow and smaller bodies; material composition does not change across sizes.
The brand's record and disclosure
OrganiCup (now AllMatters) holds OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification and FSC certification for packaging, indicating third-party testing for restricted substances. The brand publicly discloses material composition and sterilization methods (boiling, steamer, or rubbing alcohol). No product recalls, contamination reports, or manufacturing controversies are on record. Brand does not publish PFAS testing or stance explicitly, but medical-grade silicone menstrual cups are not treated with water-repellent or stain-resistant Teflon-family coating coatings typical of contaminated product categories.
How it compares in its category
Medical-grade silicone menstrual cups (including AllMatters, Saalt, Lunette, and Flex) are among the safest menstrual products available and carry lower chemical hazard profiles than disposable pads or tampons, which often contain bleach residues, synthetic fibers, and undisclosed fragrances. AllMatters' certification and transparency place it in the upper tier of the category. The Mini size is comparable to other small cups (Saalt Small, Lunette Small) in material safety; no size-specific hazard differentiation exists.
If you buy it
Boil the cup in water for 5-10 minutes before first use and monthly thereafter; avoid prolonged contact with direct flame or very hot water above 85°C to prevent silicone degradation over years of use. Replace the cup every 5 years or if the silicone becomes visibly sticky, discolored, or develops odor resistant to cleaning. Store in a breathable pouch (included) to prevent mold growth; do not seal in airtight plastic. Avoid oil-based lubricants and petroleum products, which can degrade silicone; use water or water-based lubricant.
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 over time
Medical-grade silicone is stable at body temperature and in neutral pH (menstrual blood), but prolonged exposure to heat, high temperatures, or aggressive cleaning agents (bleach, vinegar for extended periods) may cause microscopic degradation. No documented cases of harmful leaching from OrganiCup have been reported, but replacement every 5 years is recommended as precaution.
Microbial contamination if improperly maintained
The silicone cup's porous nature (minimal, but present in some formulations) and the moist vaginal environment can support bacterial or fungal biofilm if the cup is not cleaned and dried thoroughly between uses or stored in airtight containers. This is a user-care issue, not a material defect; proper boiling and breathable storage eliminate this risk.
Fragrance and additive residues from manufacturing
Medical-grade silicone does not require artificial fragrance or dyes, and OEKO-TEX certification confirms the absence of restricted additives and azo dyes. No fragrance or colorant-related sensitivities have been reported for OrganiCup/AllMatters cups.
Allergic reaction to silicone (rare)
True silicone allergy is rare but documented in literature; individuals with known silicone hypersensitivity should test with a small silicone item or patch before prolonged vaginal use. OrganiCup uses medical-grade silicone formulated to minimize reactive monomers, reducing (but not eliminating) this risk.
Heavy metal contamination in pigments (if colored)
The standard OrganiCup is translucent or lightly pigmented; OEKO-TEX certification covers heavy metal testing in dyes and pigments. No heavy metal contamination has been reported or detected in available testing records.
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.
