Welcome to Our Bodies

Your body has a flowing wisdom, let's get to know it a little better.

Knowing a bit more about how your body works is the first step to feeling confident and in sync with your period and cycle. From your anatomy to the phases of your menstrual cycle, this section will help you understand what’s happening inside. We can then become aware of how it connects to using different menstrual products and what you can support yourself with.

Meet the Parts That Matter

Vagina – The muscular canal where the menstrual cup is inserted. It’s flexible and strong, designed to adapt.

Cervix – The small, donut-shaped opening at the end of the vagina. It’s where menstrual flow comes from and helps determine what cup size or length fits best.

Uterus – Where the menstrual blood is shed from during your cycle.

Tip: Knowing the height of your cervix (low, medium, or high) helps you choose a cup that fits comfortably and sits in the right place.

Just like a tropical fruit salad

Just like the variety of tropical fruit that exists, no two bodies are the same. Not just in looks, but in biology, needs, and rhythms. Some women don’t bleed, some have two uteruses, and others experience irregular or unpredictable cycles. While we share general insights into menstruation, we fully embrace the beautiful diversity of all body types and experiences.

We also understand that menstrual cups won’t suit or be desired by everyone and that’s perfectly okay. Our aim is simply to honour and support each woman’s flow in the way that feels right for her.

If you don’t need a cup yourself, you can still be part of the flow:

Your Menstrual Cycle

Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5):
Your period begins. The lining of your uterus sheds. This is when you’ll use your cup.

Follicular Phase (Days 6–13):
Hormones rise, your body prepares to release an egg.

Ovulation (Day 14):
The egg is released. You might notice changes like clearer cervical fluid.

Luteal Phase (Days 15–28):
Hormones rise and fall. If no pregnancy occurs, your next period begins.

Not all women bleed, and not all cycles look the same and that’s completely normal. Whether due to birth control, health conditions, menopause, or individual biology, some people move through life without a monthly period. But that doesn’t mean they’re disconnected from their cycle. Our bodies still ebb and flow in energy, mood, and intuition often in sync with internal rhythms or even the moon.

There’s no one way to experience your cycle. We honour every version, bleeding or not, because true wellness comes from tuning in to your own natural flow. And when you do that, you’re not just nurturing your health… you're tapping into your wealth.


Period Cycles & The Moon?

Just like the moon, the menstrual cycle follows a natural rhythm, typically around 28 days. Across cultures and generations, people have noticed the deep, almost mystical connection between the phases of the moon and the phases of the period cycle.

This cyclical dance reminds us that our bodies are not linear — they are fluid, intuitive, and deeply attuned to nature. Living in sync with the moon can help us honour our own inner tides, embrace each phase with compassion, and reconnect with the wisdom of our flow.

  • New moon is often linked with menstruation a time for rest, renewal, and turning inward.

  • As the waxing moon grows, it mirrors the follicular phase, when energy and creativity rise.

  • The full moon aligns with ovulation, a peak of outward energy, clarity, and connection.

  • Finally, the waning moon reflects the luteal phase, a time to slow down, reflect, and prepare to release again.

Have you ever paused to notice how your body’s rhythm mirrors the moon’s phases?

We believe menstruation is more than a monthly event, it’s a sacred rhythm that mirrors the natural world. In ancient traditions, from the moon lodges of Native American tribes to the blood mysteries of the Celtic and Mayan people, menstruation was seen as a powerful spiritual gateway. Bleeding women were often invited to retreat, rest, and receive vision, honoured for their intuition and connection to the Earth’s wisdom. Today, practices like Wicca, tantra, and goddess-based spirituality still honour the menstrual cycle linking with the moon’s phases. Even science is catching up, studies suggest that before modern lighting disrupted our natural cues, many women ovulated with the full moon and menstruated with the new, with melatonin and hormone levels responding to lunar light. This isn’t just poetic, it’s biological, cosmic, and deeply human. Reclaiming this awareness is part of returning to our inner flow, our body’s quiet knowing, and the ancient cycles that still live in us, even when the world forgets. Let's keep remembering that we are nature too.
