You know when people go buy their first home cupping set they always get stuck on this one question. Plastic or glass? The kind without fire I mean. Both don't use fire obviously. Both work with that little hand pump thing. So they seem pretty much the same right? But nah, Use them for a few months and you'll see.
Plastic cupping have this aging problem. When you first get them they look super clear. Like crystal clear. But then a few months later they start going yellow and kinda cloudy. You know how an old phone case looks after a while? Yeah exactly like that. Also plastic is soft. So when you wipe it with a towel or when you knock it against other cupping you get these tiny scratches all over. And where do bacteria hide? In those scratches. You can wipe with alcohol all you want but you're not reaching into those little tiny grooves. Another thing about plastic that's just annoying static electricity. It pulls dust from the air I swear. You wash a plastic cupping really good leave it sitting there for two days and when you come back the inside has dust on it again. Like how.
Glass cupping flame free ones don't have any of this nonsense. RIBON MED uses borosilicate glass. You use that thing for years and it still looks the same as day one. No yellowing. No cloudiness. Glass is hard so normal use doesn't scratch it. Cleaning takes two seconds one alcohol wipe and it's like new. And glass doesn't suck up dust like plastic does. Wash it put it away grab it next time it's still clean.
Okay yeah glass can break if you drop it. That's true. But RIBON MED made theirs stronger than regular glass cups. Like unless you're throwing it on the floor on purpose it's probably fine.
So if you want something that lasts. Something you don't have to replace every year. Go with the flame free glass one.RIBON MED flameless glass cupping sets combine the fire resistance and convenience of plastic cups with the durability and transparency of glass. No need to worry about the heat. Uncompromising, it's that easy to use.
