You know a lot of folks want to try cupping at home but fire scares them. Like who wouldn't be scared right? You got this flame and alcohol and it feels like something could go wrong any second. But here's the thing there's actually glass cupping now that doesn't use any fire at all. RIBON MED makes one. The cup itself is still borosilicate glass so it's super clear and can take heat and you can wash it easily. But instead of fire it works just like those plastic cupping sets you see around except it's glass which is nicer honestly. You just use a little pump to get the suction.
With the old kind of glass cupping you gotta burn an alcohol cotton ball inside the cup to use up all the oxygen. Sounds simple right but if even a little bit of alcohol drips out or you mess up the flame timing you'll burn yourself before you know it. Plus try doing that on your own back good luck. You literally need someone else to light it and stick it on you.
The no fire glass cups fix all that nonsense. You just put the cup where you want it then use the hand pump two or three pumps and it's stuck on there. How much suction you ask? You decide. If it feels like too much just pump one less time. Taking them off is also no big deal just push that little valve on top or gently lift the edge with your finger. No second person needed the whole time. Also because the glass is see through you can actually watch your skin puff up and see the color change. That's something plastic cups can't give you. Cleaning is easy too glass is smooth so a quick wipe with alcohol and it's clean.
So if you just want to do some easy cupping at home for wellness and don't wanna mess with fire at all seriously just get the RIBON MED no flame glass cupping set. It's way less stressful trust me.
