Femmycycle: 1 year lifespan?

Hi everyone!

I'm deciding on whether to get a Femmycycle cup, but I read that it should be replaced every year because of its thin, soft material. This is a huge turn-off for me considering that it could get expensive, especially for a highschool student, and it seems like it contradicts the whole aspect of the ecomnomic efficiency of a menstrual cup.

So for anyone who owns a Femmycycle, do you really think it's necessary to replace it yearly? Would you say that it's significantly less durable than other cups, and could be easily torn or "broken" (if that's even possible lol)? Will it require extra caution and care?

Thanks everyone!
