Stem: Short Thin “Stick”
Measuring Lines: Yes
Cost (RRP): $39.99 USD [Currency Converter]
Been around since: 2015
Unique Design?: No (There are other cups with similar designs available)
Other Details: Available in colors. They were running a giveaway where they were selling the cup for $1 each to people (US only) in return for an “honest review” on Amazon. Originally these cups had a smooth stem, but now they appear to have grip lines on the stem.
The shape/design of the cup looks very similar to cups being sold as the Aneer, Cup’ax and Dutchess cups. See Similar/rebranded cups. Promotional images looks very similar to these cups being sold in bulk.
Their website claims the cup is FDA approved (which is false).
Their Amazon listing used to say the cup was made from Food-Grade silicone, but has been changed to say medical grade:
A Chinese cup manufacturer shows an image of the Blossom Cup pouch and instruction booklet on one of their listings, making it appear that this company is the supplier for the Blossom Cup.

Been around since: 2012 (Fb page started 2013)
Unique Design?: No (There are other cups with similar designs available)
Other Details: Uses similar pouch to the rebranded/similar cups, so may be a rebranding. A listing for Female Cups has been spotted, where the image they show is of the Dutchess/Blossom/Charlene etc. style of cup (which may further indicate this cup brand is a rebranding rather than the cups being manufactured by Female Cup)
Update – The website now shows a new design cup, which looks very similar in design to the Lena. It also (incorrectly) says the cup is FDA approved – note no cups are FDA approved)
Cup’ax

Cost (RRP): £9.90 [Currency Converter]
Been around since: (unknown)
Unique Design?: No (There are other cups with similar designs available)
Other Details: Looks identical to the cheap cups available on AliExpress, so this may be simply a more expensive rebranded version of what you could buy for around $5USD elsewhere.
Very similar packaging to cups sold as “comfycup” on AliExpress
Similar or Rebranded Cups
This is a list of cup brands that have the same specific features and appear to be almost identical (it would be difficult to tell them apart if they were side by side). Because there are so many of these new cups available now, I have stopped listing these cups on separate pages and are listing them all here instead.
This isn’t a listing of all the rebranded/similar/non-unique cups, just the main ones. If you want a listing of all the known cup brands (both Unique and non-unique) by stem type – look at the MASTER LIST here
This is not an accusation that any of these brands are “Copies” or “Rebrandings” – it is merely a comparison to highlight cups which appear to be the same shape and/or design – for research purposes. I would however like to make consumers aware of the possibility that many of these brands could be a “rebranding” – where cups can be purchased for as little as 45c each, and then resold as the new brand name for anything up to $20-$30. Click here to see my article on “rebranding”
Measurements (Small/Large) for the brands are also given when known, for easier comparison. The slight (eg 1mm) difference between some brands that otherwise seem identical may be due to measuring errors or rounding up/down (eg a 41.5mm measurement may be rounded up or down by the brand/manufacturer), or may show the cup is actually a different size to another – I don’t know.

Valve Stem Cups – Bassrose style
The “Bassrose” design valve stem cups have a hollow stem that opens at the end, allowing the cup to be emptied while still in the vagina. They use a ball inside to block the opening. I refer to any other cups that have this same shape as a bassrose rebranding.
Valve Stem Cups – Aiwo style
The “Aiwo” design has a hollow tube stem with a slit inside that opens when you squeeze the stem, allowing it to be emptied while still in the vagina.

Measuring Lines: unknown (no?)
Cost (RRP): € 19,90 [Currency Converter]
Been around since: Unknown
Unique Design?: No (There are other cups with similar designs available)
Other Details: Available in clear and magenta. Both size cups are the same length, the large size is wider. This cup seems to be the same cup as the Lybera, just with a different name.
Femcup
http://femcup.gr/shop (Translated into English)
Country of origin: Greece
Composition: Silicone
Sizes: “A” (small) & “B” (large)
Dimensions: A=42mm diameter, 52mm long (without stem?), 15mm stem. B=46mm diameter, 55mm long (without stem?), 16mm long stem.
Capacity: A= 24ml. B = 28mls
Stem: Flat Tab
Measuring Lines: Yes
Cost (RRP): 25,00 € [Currency Converter]
Been around since: Facebook page started Jan 2014, so 2013/2014?
Unique Design?: No (There are other cups with similar designs available)
Other Details: Looks very similar to the large number of Similar/rebranded cups – and the Femcup box has been seen with Sckoon clones. So this may be a rebranded cup.
Cerene / Continuon
Country: Unknown (NZ? though likely made in China)
Composition: “FDA grade Silicone”
Sizes: “A” (small), “B” (large)
Dimensions:
Capacity: Unknown
Stem: ? One shows what looks like a flat tab, the other looks like a short solid.
Measuring Lines: Unknown
Cost (RRP): Unknown
Guarantee: Satisfaction Guarantee
Been around since: End of Sept 2014
Unique Design?: No (There are other cups with similar designs available)
Other Details: No official website found. The only 2 references I’ve found to buy them online are from Amazon, which had 2 listings for 2 different looking cups (both examples of cheap Chinese Rebranded cups).
The Blue cup listing, which as you can see from the screen shot below, and the photo above, used to have a “Cerene” logo on the product photo, but is now being sold as a “Continuon”.
The green cup listing didn’t have that logo, and is a different shaped cup, but used the “Cerene” name in the product title.
Listing #1 (green) – http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MVRMUCQ
Listing #2 (blue) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R5AF89G
There is a review with photos on Amazon, which shows the cup they bought as the blue “Cerene” that was actually an iCare cup – which proves this “Cerene” / “Continuon” isn’t a brand of cup, but rather a rebranding of the iCare cups.
The Green cup listing lists “Cerene” as the seller.
A couple of the articles mentioned the contact details for the woman behind the company “Cerene” (heartfeltdryerballs.com), which is a New Zealand business.

Other Details: Available in clear or “purple” (pinkish/purple). Looks the same as the Similar/Rebranded cups. These cups were previously known as “La Luna” and have been renamed to “Mahina”.
La Luna site – directing to the Mahina site & the Mahina site with a (hopefully accidental) line saying the cup is worn in the womb
(also, it’s a small quibble, but a 10 year lifespan of a cup I wouldn’t consider a “lifetime of freedom” – I’d personally want to hope my lifetime is looooong past that :P)

Other Details: Site says it is available in 6 colors: clear, pink, purple, red, blue and green. However the shopping cart doesn’t appear to give the option to choose colour. The same style cups with the same style bag and the same style instruction sheet have been seen on Aliexpress (See similar/rebranded cups) – so this may be the original that the others copied, or this may be a rebranding of those cheap cups.
