The anti-cellulite cup is the must-have beauty accessory for caring for your skin when it comes to cellulite, and it is much loved for its many benefits.
But which anti-cellulite cup should you choose for your massages?
Is a cheap plastic anti-cellulite cup really a match for the CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup?
To answer all your questions about cheap cups, their risks and their quality, we’ve gathered the key points to help you buy with confidence. We cover the material, lifespan, flexibility, what our customers think and where to buy the genuine CelluBlue cup.
Cheap cups: what to watch out for
Plastic, often made soft and pliable with phthalates, is the material most commonly used in cheap counterfeit anti-cellulite cups. It’s also worth keeping an eye on the chemical additives sometimes added to make them look fun and girly. Many sellers of these products don’t hold French laboratory certificates showing that their items are safe.
What few women realise, however, is that plastic can pose a risk and cause reactions on contact with the skin. If in doubt, ask your doctor for advice. For all these reasons, it’s simply not worth taking a chance on a cheap plastic cup.
Why choose the CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup in medical-grade silicone?
Known for being hypoallergenic, medical-grade silicone is often chosen by people with sensitive skin.
Medical-grade silicone costs more to manufacture than the plastic used in cheap cups, and it’s the material we chose for our CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup. That’s the key difference from cheap counterfeits: our cup is made from medical-grade silicone.
The cupping tool that replicates pinching and rolling, 3 minutes per zone
- The professionals' technique, at home: you lift, glide, and release, and the tool grips the skin fold like a manual pinching and rolling
- Soft silicone that fits thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms
- 3 minutes per zone, every day, always with a massage oil so the tool glides
One last trap to avoid! Some sellers of cheap cups claim to use silicone. Be careful, though: it’s very hard to find an anti-cellulite cup made from genuine medical-grade silicone for just a few pounds. A cheap cup is therefore very often made of plastic, with all the points to watch out for mentioned above.
CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup: its strengths compared to cheap plastic cups
Lifespan
The CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup in medical-grade silicone is designed to last. Cheap plastic cups, by contrast, often only hold up for a year or two!
The material
As mentioned above, medical-grade silicone is known for being hypoallergenic and is often chosen by people with sensitive skin. Plastic and its phthalates are a different story, and their composition calls for caution.
Flexibility
Both supple and firm, medical-grade silicone lends itself well to the pinch-and-roll massage technique. Plastic, by contrast, is very rigid, which makes cheap cups much harder to use!
