Elle International mission
A period should never cost a girl her education.
In South Africa, many learners miss school because period products are not affordable. Every Elle International kit helps move reusable period care into the hands of a girl who needs it - practical protection, dignity and confidence for school.
For companies, donors and foundations, Elle International creates period poverty partnerships, corporate social investment programmes and school distribution projects that are measurable, practical and deeply human.

Fit guide and real questions
Feel ready before you switch.
Which ElleCup menstrual cup size should I choose?
Choose by flow, comfort and fit confidence. Light to regular flow usually starts with the smaller reusable menstrual cup, while regular to heavy flow may need more capacity. The fit guide helps you choose before checkout.
Can a menstrual cup leak?
Any cup can leak if the fold, seal or size is wrong. Once the cup opens and forms a gentle seal, it can offer up to 12 hours of protection. ElleFlow leakproof underwear adds extra backup for heavy days, sport, travel and sleep.
Is ElleFlow only for periods?
No. ElleFlow leakproof underwear can also support postpartum changes and light bladder leaks, especially when you want washable backup that feels like normal underwear.
How does buying from Elle International help end period poverty?
Product sales help fund reusable period care access, while Elle International partnerships help schools, companies and donors deliver structured menstrual health programmes at scale.
