Baguanfa Rubber Cups These are advanced cups – only to be used by those practitioners that are already practiced in the use of the glass or vacuum cups. $30. US each 4 cup set	These cups have the smooth inner lip that comes in contact with the clients skin.   These are not from the same manufacturer as the ACUCUPS and the Slipstream companies. A side by side comparison was done of both sets. Please see the review regarding the differences: REVIEW You'll need to scroll about halfway down the page to read about the Baguanfa Rubber cups.
The marvelous benefits of these advanced cups: • Made of a natural rubber compound that can easily change shape – making for an amazing array of places these cups can be applied to the body – elbows, knees, scapula, hands, feet, abdominals, shoulders, spine, etc., etc., etc. ~ Bony prominences are no longer off limits to moving cups! • Cup openings measure from the largest to the smallest: In inches - 3, 2.5, 1.75, 1.25 ~ ~ ~ In centimeters - 7.6, 6.4, 4.4, 3.2 • There are no limitations on body posture – the cups can be applied while the patient is lying, sitting, standing – even walking. • Easy to apply, Easy to remove. • These cups are extremely durable and with minimal care will last for an extended period of time. • Great on kids and people with frail and sensitive skin. • They will not break if dropped or impacted... (no, they'll bounce - so keep them out of reach of your canine kids - because they love them too!) • Since these cups can nest within themselves – they are an outstanding solution for travel, vacations, and outcall situations of all kinds. These are the ones you need for Chair Massage! • Regular feedback from clients accustomed to getting cupping treatments with rigid cups are SO fantastic. People absolutely love the way these soft cups feel on their bodies - the hands down favorite.
Baguanfa Bell Cups These come in a set of 3 cups - .8" , 1.2" and 2" (2, 3 and 4 cm) $35. US each 3 cup set   See pics below	These are not the same cups as similar sets found elsewhere. (like lhasaoms) We carried the Pump N Cups for a time and found the rubber bulb deteriorates at the seam until it splits and can't hold suction. (see pictures below) You then have a glass bell with no bulb, as they do not sell them separately. These do cost more - but you get what you pay for.
• We love these cups. They are often referred to as The Magic Cups by users because they feel so smooth. • The bell is a sturdy composite and the bulb on the top is made of soft rubber for easy use. • They also work in places that are sometimes hard to get to like the occipitals, scalenes, behind the ear, between the ulna and radius, etc. Excellent along the intercostals. • The smooth glide of the bell feels very organic, making these the best option for working on the soft underarm areas, neck, face, breast, and décolleté. • Another set we feel is optimal for Chair Massage treatments.
Belletazze (Beauty Cups) These facial cups come in a set of 4 - 1", .75" , .45" and the oval cup $65. US each 4 cup set	We are taking pre-orders for the Belletazze Set which is scheduled to be available in May. Feel free to pay in advance as we are making 100 sets at a time - sent out on a first come first served basis.
• The Belletazze Facial Cups are available only through EarthSpa. Each cup is individually created by our own Glass Blowing Artist here in the Pacific Northwest. • The pictures above are of the original prototype. After working with them and a slight redesign - we decided on a few improvements. The actual cups are thicker walled for weight and durablility and longer for easier handling - they are beautiful. • These are the long awaited replacements for the plastic facial cupping sets, and they are incredible. Therapists currently using the plactic cups who've had the opprtunity to test these, are thrilled with the feel and ease of use these cups provide. • Each comes with an easy to use rubber bulb, in a glossy silver box. • The first of the beautiful facial cups will be available in April 2008, but we are accepting pre-orders for these cups on a first come first serve basis. • Thanks for your patience and to those people who provided input in helping us get these babies made.

 

 

These are brand new "Pump N Cups"- right out of the box. Here's a close up of what happens to the bulb of the Pump N Cups after a handful of uses. The seam splits open - pretty disappointing. And, if you work with lubricants - that'll speed up the deterioration. And... an even closer look at the ones we like - and now stock - kinda speaks for itself. We didn't feel good selling the Pump N Cups, so we ended up giving away most of them as "freebies" with a warning about the rubber bulbs.
