It&#8217;s a real bias, and it has a name: <em>upfront cost<\/em> weighs more heavily on a decision than <em>accumulated cost<\/em>, even when the latter is bigger. That&#8217;s why a \u20ac4 box of tampons &#8220;doesn&#8217;t register&#8221; and a \u20ac15 cup feels &#8220;expensive&#8221;: the brain compares individual amounts, not the yearly total.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also a structural reason almost nobody talks about this kind of saving: the disposables industry lives on the monthly repurchase. A pad or tampon gets advertised every month because it&#8217;s bought every month. A \u20ac15-20 cup that lasts for years gets bought once and never generates recurring revenue again \u2014 there&#8217;s no advertising budget behind it to remind you. Most people who switch to a cup end up asking themselves the same question: why didn&#8217;t I discover this sooner.<\/p>\n<p>The systematic review and meta-analysis published in <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31324419\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">The Lancet Public Health (2019)<\/a>, covering 43 studies and over 3,300 participants, confirms that the menstrual cup is a safe option with leakage rates equal to or lower than tampons and pads. The savings don&#8217;t cost you anything in return: it&#8217;s the same protection, at a fraction of the annual cost.<\/p>\n\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sileu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SEQ9_p1_composicion_rose_classic_en.jpg\" alt=\"Product composition: Sileu Rose menstrual cup \u20ac19.99 and Sileu Classic \u20ac14.99 with cotton pouch\" width=\"1200\" height=\"640\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Sileu Rose and Sileu Classic: two starting prices, the same certified silicone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2>Rose vs. Classic: why does the Rose cost \u20ac5 more?<\/h2>\n<p>With the same German Wacker silicone certified to ISO 10993, the difference between \u20ac14.99 and \u20ac19.99 isn&#8217;t about safety or capacity \u2014 it&#8217;s about design. The <a href=\"https:\/\/sileu.com\/es\/copa-menstrual-sileu-rose-historia-diseno\/\">Sileu Rose came out of a Spanish design project<\/a> aimed at stripping away the cup&#8217;s &#8220;clinical&#8221; look: a flower shape, a matching cotton pouch, an object that doesn&#8217;t feel out of place in a toiletry bag. The Classic (and the rest of the range: Sport, Soft, Tulip, Bell, Divine) skips that aesthetic extra and goes straight to the point, which is why it&#8217;s the cheaper entry option.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure which one suits you, our <a href=\"https:\/\/sileu.com\/es\/copa-menstrual-nueva-guia-para-elegir-la-mejor-opcion-para-principiantes-explicada\/\">guide to choosing your first menstrual cup<\/a> compares the <a href=\"https:\/\/sileu.com\/es\/modelos-copa-menstrual-sileu\/\">seven models in the Sileu range<\/a> by firmness and shape.
