How to use cups correctly: dry cupping and cupping massage
How do you apply cups, adjust the suction and remove them? This guide explains dry cupping and cupping massage, with manufacturer guidance on duration, skin reactions and cleaning.
Cupping cases for the practice and home visits
Cupping cases bundle accessories for use by trained practitioners in clinics and therapeutic facilities. Depending on the version, the sets differ in their scope and in the cup sizes they contain. Select the sizes and accessory parts to match your working methods and observe the cleaning and disinfection requirements of the materials.
Cupping set case for structured cupping therapy
A cupping set case combines the most important components for cupping therapy in a tidy storage solution. It is suitable for practices, therapeutic facilities and trained users who wish to transport or store their cupping accessories in an organised manner. In this category you will find cupping set cases, for example from GUOYIYAN or AcuTop, with varying numbers of pieces depending on the version. Typical sets contain 18 or 19 pieces and, depending on the model, may include various cup sizes as well as accessories for the application.
The advantage of a cupping set case lies primarily in its organisation: the individual components stay together, are more quickly at hand and can be neatly stored away again after use. If you are specifically looking for individual cups or wish to supplement existing sets, you will find suitable options in the cupping glasses category. A case is particularly practical when several sizes are required or when the equipment is regularly transported between treatment room, course room or home visits.
What to consider when making your selection
When selecting a cupping set case, the sheer number of pieces is less decisive than the question of whether the included sizes and accessories suit the intended application. In Traditional Chinese Medicine and in therapeutic contexts, cupping is used differently depending on training, method and indication. The set should therefore match your own working methods and only be used by persons who are familiar with application, skin assessment, hygiene and contraindications.
- Number of pieces: 18-piece and 19-piece sets differ in scope; check which components are actually included.
- Range of sizes: Various cup sizes make it easier to adapt to the body region and application situation.
- Storage: A sturdy case supports order, transport and protection of the components.
- Hygiene: The cleaning and disinfection requirements of the respective materials as well as internal practice standards must be observed.
Safe and proper use
Cupping set cases are working tools for proper cupping therapy and do not replace training or medical evaluation. Before use, the condition of the skin, sensitivity and individual risks should be taken into account. In case of uncertainty, existing illnesses, blood clotting disorders, skin injuries or during pregnancy, professional advice is important. After use, all reusable components must be cleaned and disinfected in accordance with material and hygiene guidelines and stored completely dry in the case.

- What is included in a cupping case?
- A cupping case generally contains several cupping cups or cupping glasses in different sizes, as well as accessories, depending on the particular set. In this category, for example, 18-piece and 19-piece versions are available. The exact composition may vary depending on the model, which is why the product description should always be checked before purchase. It is important that the included items match the intended application and your level of experience.
- What is the difference between 18-piece and 19-piece cupping cases?
- 18-piece and 19-piece cupping cases differ mainly in the range of components included. An additional item may, depending on the model, be a further cup, an accessory, or a spare part. However, the number of pieces alone does not tell you everything about suitability. What matters are the included sizes, the accessories, the handling, and whether the set is suitable for the intended use in a practice, in training, or in trained self-application.
- Who is a cupping case suitable for?
- A cupping case is suitable for trained users, therapeutic practices, and facilities that wish to store or transport cupping accessories in an organised way. It is particularly practical when various cup sizes are required and the material is in regular use. Application should only take place if the technique, hygiene, skin assessment, and possible contraindications are known. In the case of health-related uncertainties, a professional consultation is advisable.
- How do I choose the right cupping case?
- You should select the right cupping case according to its contents, range of sizes, intended application, and handling. Check which cups or glasses are included and whether the number of items is sufficient for the way you work. For mobile use, a well-organised case is particularly helpful. In addition, the material, cleaning options, and compatibility with your hygiene procedures should be taken into account before you decide on a set.
- How are cupping cases and accessories cared for hygienically?
- Cupping cases and reusable accessories should be cleaned, disinfected, and stored dry after each use in accordance with the material specifications. What matters are the manufacturer's instructions as well as the hygiene standards applicable in the practice. Residues on cups or glasses should not be allowed to dry on. The case itself should also be kept clean so that the components remain protected and orderly. Damaged parts should not be used any further.
- Can a cupping case be used for home visits?
- A cupping case can be suitable for home visits if it transports the required components safely and clearly arranged. The advantage is that cups, accessories, and, where applicable, spare parts stay together and are ready for use more quickly. Stable storage, clean transport, and a clear procedure for cleaning and disinfection after use are important. Proper use and hygiene standards also apply outside the practice.
- Do I need to buy additional cupping glasses?
- Additional cupping glasses are only necessary if the sizes or quantities included in the cupping case are not sufficient for your application. Many sets cover basic requirements, but the exact equipment varies depending on the model. Anyone who uses certain cup sizes more frequently or wishes to supplement existing material should compare the set contents with their own needs. Individual cupping glasses can be a useful addition if more flexibility is desired.
