[Fuyuhiko]

So basically there's a cap on tears, which is 5....but sometime you can get lower. what items do that? beside soy milk, of course.

Crickets body, purity and the cancer trinket are the only three I can think of.

Mom's perfume, Cricket's body, Guillotine, Purity, Capricorn, Pisces and I think a few others. Oh, and Cancer - trinket, not item.

Most fire rate items, such as the Coat Hanger or Sad Onion, give you a tears up which then goes through a formula to subtract your tear delay, and caps out at 5. The above items ignore the formula and directly subtract from your tear delay.

TboI has 2 types of tear attributes: tears and tear delay. Number you see on screen is tear delay.
There's a long formula that allows calculating tear delay from tears, but basically tear delay is calculated from tears with diminishing returns and then all the tear delay items directly change tear delay.
Note that the lowest tear delay is 5 (5 tears per second), unless you take items that reduce tear delay, then the cap goes down. Lowest possible tear delay is 1 (15 tears per second).

Items that reduce tear delay directly:

• Anti-Gravity: -1 tear delay
  
• Capricorn: -1 tear delay
  
• Chocolate Milk + Lucovido Technique: -1 tear delay
  
• Crichet's Body: -1 tear delay
  
• Epiphora: 0.5x tear delay at max charge
  
• Gilloutine: -1 tear delay
  
• Milk (after taking damage for current room only): -2 tear delay
  
• Mom's Perfume: -1 tear delay
  
• Pisces: -1 tear delay
  
• Purity (blue aura): -4 tear delay
  
• Soy Milk: 0.25x tear delay - 2
  
  Trinkets that reduce tear delay directly:
  
  
• Cracked Crown: -1 tear delay
  
• Cancer: -2 tear delay
  
  Items that increase tear delay directly:
  
  
• Brimstone: 3x tear delay
  
• Dr. Fetus: 2.5x tear delay
  
• Eve's Mascara: 2x tear delay
  
• Ipecac: 2x tear delay + 10
  
• Monstro's Lung: ?x tear delay
  
• Mutant Spider: 2.1x tear delay + 3
  
• Polyphemus: 2.1x tear delay + 3
  
• The Inner Eye: 2.1x tear delay + 3

No, these 2 can't. They are regular tear delay items
