Menstrual Cup Manufacturer in India
Smilepad offers a reusable medical-grade silicone menstrual cup, manufactured to ISO 13485 in a US FDA-registered, CDSCO-licensed facility, for private label, OEM, bulk and export supply. A menstrual cup is a small, flexible, funnel-shaped cup made from medical-grade liquid silicone rubber that collects rather than absorbs menstrual fluid, giving up to eight hours of protection and lasting years rather than hours. Smilepad is the feminine hygiene arm of Nibhana Consumer, and it holds this category to the standard the product demands: make it safe, make it consistent, make it something a woman can trust inside her body.
The menstrual cup is the fastest-shifting product in feminine hygiene because it answers what disposables cannot. It runs for years rather than a single use, it costs a fraction per period over its life, and it takes the waste of a monthly disposable habit close to zero. Smilepad builds that product for brands who want it under their own name, made properly.
What is a menstrual cup?
A menstrual cup is reusable period care. It is a soft, bell-shaped cup of medical-grade silicone that is folded and inserted to sit low in the vaginal canal, where a smooth flexible rim opens into a light seal and collects flow. Air holes below the rim hold the seal against leaks, a set of ridges gives grip for removal, and a stem helps locate the cup when it is time to take it out. It is emptied, rinsed and reinserted through the day, sterilised in boiling water between cycles, and reused for years with proper care.
The difference from a pad or tampon is the whole appeal. A cup collects instead of absorbing, so it does not dry the body or carry the same irritation. It holds more than a pad or tampon, so it can be worn through a long day. And because it lasts for years, it replaces hundreds of disposables, which is what makes it both the economical choice and the sustainable one.

Smilepad offers the full menstrual cup range, so a brand can build a complete line from one partner rather than splitting an order across vendors.

Companion steriliser cup. A collapsible, foldable silicone steriliser cup is available alongside the menstrual cup, made from FDA-grade silicone for repeatable use and easy travel. A plastic-cap version supports hot-water sterilisation, and a silicone-cap version is both hot-water and oven friendly. It is the natural add-on and second SKU in a menstrual cup range.
Material and safety
A menstrual cup lives inside the body, so material is not a feature here, it is the entire product. Smilepad's cups are moulded from 100% medical-grade liquid silicone rubber in an ISO Class 10000 cleanroom, and the grade is chosen because it is soft, non-reactive, odourless and stable across years of reuse and repeated sterilisation. The silicone is BPA-free, phthalate-free, TSE/BSE-free and RoHS and SVHC compliant, tested by qualified rubber technologists in a dedicated R&D lab.
This is the specification a serious buyer reads before anything else, and it is where quality is either designed in or quietly left out.
Compliance: a menstrual cup is a medical device
This is where most menstrual cup pages should be read closely, because the category is more regulated than pads. In India a menstrual cup is classified as a Class B medical device under the Medical Devices Rules 2017, administered by the CDSCO, so it must be CDSCO-licensed and made under an ISO 13485 medical-device quality system. Smilepad's cup meets both.
Biocompatibility is proven to the ISO 10993 series, including ISO 10993-4, 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), 10993-10 and 10993-23 (vaginal irritation). The silicone complies with US FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for repeated food-and-body contact, and the product is US FDA-registered. For export, this certification set travels: US FDA registration for the United States, and CE and destination marks where required.
Private label, OEM and ODM menstrual cups
Most brands do not want a stock cup with a sticker on it. They want their own cup, their own colour, their own name, made by a partner who runs a medical-grade line properly. That is the OEM, ODM and private-label brief, and Smilepad is open for it.
The process runs in a straight line. You bring the brief, a sample is built, and once the sample is approved the line goes to production against an agreed schedule.
- Specify the product: size range, V or U shape, and colour from the six-colour range.
- Brand the cup and pack: engraving, box, pouch, insert and retail or export packaging.
- Approve a physical sample before any bulk run.
- Scale to your order, with repeat runs held to the same spec and the same lot traceability.
Bulk, wholesale and export
Smilepad supplies menstrual cups in bulk to distributors, wellness brands and institutional programmes, and for export by the carton or container. Wholesale pricing, packaging and export documentation are quoted against the requirement, backed by the fast turnaround of a dedicated medical-device line.
Sustainability
The menstrual cup is the rare hygiene product whose case is also an environmental one. A single cup used across its five-year life replaces hundreds of pads or tampons, which removes that waste from landfill and that monthly cost from the household. For a brand, that is not a slogan but a genuine, provable position, and it is why the category keeps growing rather than fading. Smilepad manufactures the product that lets a brand make that claim honestly.
