“Is a Lily Cup really worth double what other cups with the same certification cost?” This question, which reaches our support inbox every week, sums up what people wonder when comparing the Intimina menstrual cup<\/strong> with the Sileu menstrual cup. And the short answer is uncomfortable for marketing: what actually changes isn’t safety or material, it’s price, the models available, and what you get for your money. Intimina is an international brand with good design and shelf presence in major retailers; Sileu is a Spanish direct-to-consumer brand with seven cup models. Both make safe cups that work. Let’s compare them with verifiable data and no tricks, just like we did with Enna vs Sileu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

The Intimina prices cited here are the ones published on their official website in August 2026 (\u20ac26.95 for the Lily Cup One, \u20ac30.95 for the original Lily Cup, and \u20ac32.95 for the Lily Cup Compact, VAT included), though the brand frequently runs discounts: double-check before deciding. The Sileu prices are our store’s, no fine print.<\/p>\n\n

Price: the clearest difference<\/h2>\n
\"Price
Official price comparison of the Intimina (Lily Cup) and Sileu menstrual cups (August 2026).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Lily Cup costs around \u20ac27-33 depending on the model. For less than Intimina’s cheapest option, at Sileu you get a Sileu Rose<\/a> (\u20ac19.99) with change left over for sterilizing tablets<\/a>. And for the price of a Lily Cup Compact, you get the full Sileu Travel Pack<\/a>: cup, foldable sterilizer and pouch for \u20ac29.99.<\/p>\n

Why this difference? It’s not material or quality: it’s the channel. Intimina sells through international distributors, and each middleman adds their margin. Sileu sells direct from the factory, with no tolls along the way. Either cup pays for itself within a few months compared to tampons and pads, but the upfront cost doesn’t have to top \u20ac20.<\/p>\n

And here’s an honest thought: the disposables industry bills you every month, cycle after cycle, for decades. A \u20ac15-20 cup that lasts for years has nobody advertising it on TV, which is why people who switch to a cup \u2014 whatever the brand \u2014 usually end up wondering why nobody showed them sooner.<\/p>\n\n

\n

The direct alternative: Sileu Classic \u2014 \u20ac14.99<\/strong><\/p>\n

German Wacker silicone, certified ISO 10993 (surgical-medical grade), medium firmness suited to most users, and two sizes. Less than half the price of a Lily Cup Compact, shipped from Spain in 24-72h.<\/p>\n

Models: 3 foldable cups vs. 7 models matched to every body<\/h2>\n

Intimina’s approach is genuinely original, and credit where it’s due: the original Lily Cup rolls up as thin as a tampon, the Lily Cup One targets beginners with a removal ring, and the Lily Cup Compact folds into a pocket-sized case. Their bet is on format<\/em>: cups that take up little space.<\/p>\n

Sileu’s bet is different: instead of folding the cup down, we adapt the cup to the body. There are seven models<\/a> with different shapes, lengths and firmness levels: Classic (balanced), Soft (sensitive bladder or vagina), Sport (strong pelvic floor), Rose (beginner-friendly, rose-shaped, with a Spanish design story<\/a> behind it), Tulip and Bell (low cervix), and Divine (maximum softness). Our experience after years of advising customers is clear: the number one reason people give up on the cup isn’t that it doesn’t fold \u2014 it’s wearing a model that doesn’t fit their anatomy.<\/p>\n

And within the range, customization goes right down to the detail. Only the Sileu Rose<\/strong> comes in 18 combinations<\/strong>: 3 sizes \u00d7 3 firmness levels \u00d7 2 colors. Choose exactly the cup your body needs:<\/p>\n
