Quick answer

A refurbished TheraCup includes the device, three cup sizes, a charging cable, and a carry case. Setup takes about five minutes: charge the unit, attach the right cup, and adjust suction and heat levels before use.

Why choose a refurbished TheraCup

Buying refurbished from Therabody gives you the same cupping therapy device at a lower price — the catalog price is USD 87.57 compared to USD 139.00 new. Each unit goes through inspection and testing, so you get a fully functional device with the same suction, heat, and vibration features.

The main trade-off is cosmetic: refurbished units may have minor scuffs or packaging differences. The warranty and performance are identical to new, making this a solid choice if you want to try cupping at home without the full retail cost.

What’s in the box

Your refurbished TheraCup arrives with the main device, three cup sizes (small, medium, large), a USB-C charging cable, and a carry case. The cups are interchangeable and snap on easily, letting you target different muscle groups or body areas.

No additional accessories or adapters are needed. The digital controls on the device let you adjust suction strength, heat level, and vibration intensity directly.

How to set up and use your refurbished TheraCup

  1. Charge the device: Plug the USB-C cable into the TheraCup and a power source. A full charge takes about 2 hours. The LED indicator turns solid green when ready. Don’t use the device while charging — wait for a full charge to avoid inconsistent suction or heat.
  2. Attach the correct cup size: Snap the small, medium, or large cup onto the device. Use the small cup for smaller muscles like forearms, the medium for general use, and the large for larger areas like thighs or back. If you feel pinching or the cup loses suction, try a different size — the wrong cup can cause discomfort or poor seal.
  3. Apply lubricant and position the cup: Apply a small amount of massage oil or lotion to the skin. Place the cup on the target area and press the power button to start suction. Use the control dial to increase or decrease suction strength. Too much lubricant can break the seal, causing the cup to fall off. Start with a dime-sized amount and add more if needed.
  4. Adjust heat and vibration settings: Press the heat button to cycle through low, medium, and high heat. Use the vibration button to select a mode. Start with low heat and no vibration to get used to the sensation. High heat can irritate sensitive skin — test on a small area first and never use heat on broken skin or over an active injury.
  5. Use and move the cup: Once comfortable, slide the cup across the muscle in slow, gliding motions. Keep each area to 5–10 minutes. Release suction by pressing the release button before moving to a new spot. Don’t leave the cup stationary for more than a minute — this can cause bruising or suction marks. Keep the cup moving for best results.
