As opposed to male menstrual cups?
Interesting though - in their FAQs they mention - "... made of ... material that has been used for more than twenty years in health care items such as catheters and baby bottle nipples ..."
Foleys and baby bottle nipples? There are possibilities.

Was this issue of finding the right replacement material for hte actuators ever resolved? What was the outcome of Carchic's and worf's research?

And I am still working with suppliers for the smaller diaphragms and will update the thread when I have some news. The larger diaphragm for the recirc flap is available already.

You could get extra actuator stroke if the reservoir tip type were used .... wait, that doesn't sound quite right ... 
My vote goes for the dental dam material - tough stuff, that!
