Скачать или смотреть Menstrual Cup Firmness - Why It Matters

The resistance a cup has while squeezed is its firmness. The durometer (a scientific score for the hardness/softness of materials like silicone also called a shore score) plays a large role in a cup's firmness. Categorizing and assigning firmness to cups is not standardized - it's subjective which means your opinion of a cup's firmness might differ from mine. As this has been a popular request to add firmness scores to cups in my resources, ratings are now listed on my comparison chart. The real reason I finally rated all of the cups is part of another, more ambitious project that is still in the works. Stay tuned for news on that at a later date!
