Menstrual Cup JuJu
JuJu Menstrual Cup is an Australian made cup-like receptacle made from medical-grade silicone. It is used for the collection of menstrual fluid and is a reusable alternative to sanitary pads and tampons.
JuJu Cup is folded and inserted into the vagina where it opens, creates a seal, and collects menstrual flow. It is removed, emptied, washed, and re-inserted. After each cycle, it is disinfected and reused during the next menstrual cycle.

Waste Credentials
Able to be reused for many years to avoid sanitary waste ending up in a landfill or as pollution. Prevents the disposal of approximately 300 tampons and pads per year, and over 10,000 in a lifetime. At the end of its life (which is likely to be many years) the cup will need to be disposed of in a landfill until silicone recycling is available, however, the waste it has avoided will be well worth it!
Model Selection
The following is a guide to selecting a suitable model;
Model 1: Under 30 years of age and have not given birth
Model 2: Over 30 years of age or have given birth
Model 3: For a high cervix or long vaginal canal
Model 4: For a low cervix or short vaginal canal
This is only a guide. Many women who have had children will still be able to successfully use a Model 1, and vice versa.
