Health friendly
Lalicup menstrual cup is made from 100% platinum-based medical liquid silicone and does not contain latex or harmful BPA. Unlike tampons it does not irritate mucous membranes and is a good solution for women who often have problems with inflammation, allergies or fungal infections.
Reliable
The cup is held safely and comfortably in the right position by a light vacuum, which is released only when you squeeze the bottom of the cup when you want to remove it. The shape and volume of LaliCup ensure maximum efficiency even during heavier periods. You can also rely on the cup while swimming since it works as a water tampon.
Ecological
Old habits die hard – this is especially true of period products that women have been using during menstruation for centuries. Just imagine how much money you already spent on single-use tampons and pads! Not to mention they are single-use, so they end up filling our landfills. Lalicup is more ecological as you only need one cup that can be used for many years.
Cheaper
An average woman spends between € 50 and € 120 a year on classic hygiene items, such as tampons and pads, which means that investment in the Lalicup menstrual cup (which can be used for many years) refunds in just 3 months.
Comfortable
LaliCup is made of medical-grade silicone that does not irritate or dry vaginal mucosa and is suitable for sensitive and yeast infection or allergy-prone skin. You can wear it regardless of what you are doing – from sleeping to swimming. Simply fold it into a smaller shape and insert it into the vagina.
LaliCup menstrual cup is designed and manufactured in Slovenia. It is made from hypoallergenic medical platinum silicone approved by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) for medical use according to ISO 10993 and USP class VI. Silicone is hypoallergenic, free of toxic impurities, biocompatible and durable.
Medicinski silikoni se testiraju na biokompatibilnost prema standardima Američke agencije za hranu i lijekove (FDA) i stoga su prikladni za primjenu u zdravstvu. Postoje tri vrste medicinskih silikona prema potencijalnoj uporabi: nisu prikladni za implantaciju, samo za kratkotrajnu implantaciju i za trajnu implantaciju. Materijali odobreni prema standardima USP razreda V i VI mogu se smatrati za medicinsku uporabu. Tipične karakteristike silikona koji se koriste za proizvodnju LaliCup menstrualne čašice su čistoća, prozirnost, čvrstoća i izvrsna stabilnost.
Our LSR liquid silicone is a two-component, platinum (addition / heat) curable and pumpable silicone elastomer that can be molded and cured with very fast cycle times at elevated temperatures. The molding process allows complex part geometry and exact dimensions. (unlike peroxide curing process leaves behind byproducts, which can be an issue in food contact and medical applications.)
Menstrual cup is not regarded as medical device according to EU law, so there are no designations on the LaliCup menstrual cup to be approved by the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices.
Health comes first, that is why silicone used for LaliCup menstrual cup production is tested according to the USP Class VI standard and / or ISO 10993 biocompatibility standard. The material is therefore suitable for healthcare application.
This carefully selected liquid medical-grade silicone is a platinum-based silicone cure system, also called an addition system (because the key reaction building polymer is an “Addition reaction”). With platinum as catalyst, two different chemical groups react, a silicone hydride and a vinyl. Characterized by excellent properties:
■ high thermal stability,
■ high stability and flexibility at low temperatures,
■ excellent biocompatibility,
■ sterilized with ethylene oxide, steam or gamma radiation,
■ good mechanical properties,
■ long life span with high dynamic load bearing capability,
■ high resistance to ozone, oxygen and ultraviolet light,
■ excellent aging resistance,
■ thermal stability with wide temperature range,
■ not readily combustible, does not melt or drip
High quality and softness of silicone ensure maximum safety and comfort during movement.
Is a portfolio of platinum catalyzed materials. Silicone ready-to-use mixture is made from two components, A and B, with a precise dosing and mixing of the components. Mixture is injected directly into the molds using the injection molding machines, thus mixing other components during the manufacture process of LaliCup menstrual cup is completely avoided.
Silicone mixture for LaliCup menstrual cup consists of two components in 1: 1 ratio. The mixture is injected a heated mold at a temperature of 170-230 ° C.
