What material is the Fold-A-Cup Big made from?

How small does it fold down to?
It folds down to a compact size of 4cm in height.
Can I use this cup for hot beverages?

Can it be used as a bowl as well as a cup?
Yes, its design allows it to function effectively as both a cup and a small bowl.
Does the folding mechanism wear out over time?
The TPE material is designed for repeated folding, but like any mechanical part, longevity depends on usage. Avoiding excessive force and keeping it clean can help maintain its function.
Troubleshooting
Cup feels stiff or difficult to fold/unfold
Ensure the cup is completely clean and dry. Gently flex the material a few times to loosen it. Avoid forcing the fold.
Minor leakage from folded edges
Make sure the cup is fully emptied and thoroughly dried before folding. Any residual liquid can seep out.
Cup retains odors or tastes
Wash with mild soap and warm water. For persistent odors, try soaking in a solution of baking soda and water for a few hours, then rinse well.
Material appears discolored
This is usually a cosmetic issue from staining by certain foods or drinks. It does not affect the functionality or safety of the cup. Ensure thorough cleaning after use.
