What is the Juju Cup?

The JuJu cup was the first and for a long time, the only Australian made and owned menstrual cup. Sadly this brand is no longer manufactured or available to purchase. In conjunction with leading ergonomists and gynaecologists, the JuJu Cup was designed in such a way as to ensure superior wearing comfort, and ease of cleaning. JuJu were committed to protecting the environment, and for this reason, they utilised low-impact silicone moulding methods throughout the production of the JuJu Cups. In addition to this, all packaging was made from recycled, carbon-neutral paper. During it’s time the Juju Cup was awarded:

  • 2013 Green Lifestyle Magazines wellbeing Product of the Year
  • 2014 Telstra Business Awards Finalist
  • 2014 Eco Parents Australia Product of the Year

While the Juju cups were originally only available in 2 sizes (Model 1 and Model 2), the range was later expanded to include a high cervix model and a low cervix model, making it easier for women to find a cup to suit their particular vaginal anatomy.

Juju cup sizes:

The correct size Juju cup was based on multiple factors.

While childbearing history and age were the main factors, each woman’s individual anatomy may also affect which size Juju is best.

Juju Model 1: For women under 30 years of age and have not given birth. 

Juju Model 2: For women over 30 years of age or women who have given birth. 

Juju Model 3: For women with a high cervix or long vaginal canal but who DO NOT have weak pelvic floor muscles (please check your cervix position)

Juju Model 4: For women with a low cervix or short vaginal canal or for women who have weak pelvic floor muscles. As a general rule, the Model 4 should only be chosen if you are confident with removing a menstrual cup and are sure you have a low cervix.

Insertion:
  1. Wash your hands. To make insertion of your Juju cup easier, you can use a little water or water-based lubricant around the rim of the cup. Some people find it easiest to insert and remove their cups while in the shower.
  2. Fold your Juju into a ‘c’ shape, or other types of fold.
  3. Hold your Juju firmly just below the upper rim. Find a comfortable position, part your legs, and carefully separate your labia with your free hand.
  4. Insert the cup slowly through the vaginal opening. Direct in back towards the base of your spine. Do not insert directly upwards. Once inserted, allow the cup to open and then slide it into its final position. It should be completely inside the vagina but positioned lower than a tampon. Depending on your anatomy, the cup may gradually move upwards while being worn.
  5. Ensure the cup has fully opened and formed a suction seal around the vaginal wall. Swirl your index finger around the base of the cup to ensure there are no indentations that may indicate it has not opened properly. If the cup has not opened completely, you can use the stem to wiggle it open, use a few pelvic floor exercises to cause it to pop open, or remove and try re-inserting.
You can wear the Juju cup overnight or for up to 12 hours. This is around twice as long as you would wear a traditional tampon or pad. Menstrual cups are only for individual use and should not be shared.
 
Removal:
  1. Wash your hands. Find a comfortable position and relax! If you are tense, this will make removal more difficult. DO NOT try to remove your Juju by pulling on the stem. This will increase the suction and make removal more difficult. It may also break the stem.
  2. Use the stem to help locate the base of the cup. Using your index finger and thumb, pinch the base of the cup and break the seal. If you are having difficulty reaching your cup, try squatting or ‘bearing down’ (like doing a poo). This will help shorten the vaginal canal. Once you have grasped the cup and broken the seal, tilt it from side to side as you carefully move it down and out of the vaginal opening. Try to keep the cup in an upright position to avoid spillage.
Empty the cup contents into the toilet. Rinse with cold water and then re-insert.

Cleaning during your cycle: 

Wash your Juju with a fragrance-free, oil-free soap, such as the specially formulated Juju Wash. Ensure that the tiny holes at the top of the cup are clear. The holes can be cleaned by squirting water through them or carefully using a toothpick to remove any debris. 

Disinfecting at the end of your cycle: 

At the end of your cycle, boil your Juju in a pot of water for 3-5 minutes (never boil for more than 5 minutes). You may also like to use a microwave sterilisation product such as the Ruby Clean. 

Storing your Juju between cycles: 

After disinfecting, thoroughly dry your Juju before putting it back in its storage bag. Always store your Juju in a ventilated area. Do not keep it in a plastic bag or airtight container, as moisture cannot evaporate without airflow, which means your cup will not dry properly. Over time you may notice some discolouration of the cup. If this occurs, you can cleanse your Juju with isopropyl rubbing alcohol, or learn more tips on how to remove menstrual cup stains. If you notice any rips, tears, or changes in the texture of your Juju, it’s time to replace it.
