PrincessD Menstrual Cup

Ten years of purpose. Ten years of impact. Ten years of changing lives.

On 3 July 2026, during the Olympus International Awards South Africa (OIASA 2026) in Pretoria, we proudly celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the PrincessD Menstrual Cup.

What began as a vision by Dr Shamila Ramjawan to make menstrual health more accessible has grown into a movement that has empowered girls and women across communities, helping to keep girls in school, promoting dignity, and supporting sustainable menstrual health solutions.

This milestone is a celebration of every partner, ambassador, supporter, educator, volunteer, and advocate who has walked this journey with us. Your belief in our mission has made a lasting difference.

As we celebrate a decade of impact, we remain committed to reaching even more girls and women, breaking barriers, and creating a future where no one misses opportunities because of their period.

Thank you for being part of the PrincessD journey. Here’s to the next decade of purpose, empowerment, and lasting change.

Happy 10th Anniversary, PrincessD!

This recent sporting moment has reminded the world of something every woman already knows: periods do not stop dreams, determination, or performance.

No athlete should have to worry about embarrassment because of a natural biological process. Instead, this moment should encourage more open conversations about menstrual health and the importance of access to menstrual products that allow women and girls to participate with confidence.

A menstrual cup is one option that can provide up to 12 hours of leak protection, allowing athletes, students, professionals, and everyday women to focus on what matters most. Reusable for up to 10 years, it is also a sustainable and cost-effective solution.

Let’s continue breaking the stigma around menstruation and ensure that no woman is held back by her period.

An unbelievable display of strength and determination 🔥🙌

Chinese marathon runner Li Meizhen was around 34 kilometres into the Hengshui Lake Marathon when her period unexpectedly began. With blood visibly running down her legs, many people would have felt unable to continue.

But Li refused to give up.

The 25-year-old battled through the pain, discomfort, embarrassment and pressure to cross the finish line in 2 hours and 35 minutes — still achieving the qualifying standard she needed.

After the race, Li said her thinking was simple: she had already made it that far, there were requirements she needed to meet, and she could not simply start over. So she carried on, even though the result was not exactly what she had hoped for.

Her resilience has received widespread praise online, and it is not difficult to understand why.

This is what true courage and perseverance look like. Nothing but respect.

Brand Ambassador Announcement 🌸

We are delighted to officially welcome Thandi Nkhwamuladzi from South Africa to our growing family of PrincessD Brand Ambassadors. 💖🇿🇦

Having passionate individuals who are willing to speak openly about menstrual health helps us reach more girls and women with information, support, and sustainable menstrual care solutions.

Too many girls still miss school simply because they do not have access to suitable menstrual products. PrincessD is committed to changing this reality by helping girls manage their periods with greater confidence, comfort, and dignity.

The PrincessD Menstrual Cup is reusable for up to 10 years, making it a practical, cost effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to disposable menstrual products. 🌸

But our purpose goes beyond providing a menstrual product. It is about keeping girls in the classroom, giving them one less reason to miss valuable learning opportunities, and helping them feel confident during their periods. 📚💖

We are excited to grow our network of Brand Ambassadors and continue taking the PrincessD message into more homes, schools, and communities around the world. 🌍✨

We are delighted to officially welcome Verusha Govender from South Africa to our growing community of PrincessD Brand Ambassadors. 💖🇿🇦

Every new ambassador helps us take the PrincessD message a little further — opening conversations about menstrual health, encouraging sustainable choices, and helping more girls manage their periods with confidence and dignity.

For many girls, something as natural as menstruation can still mean missing school because they do not have access to suitable menstrual products. We believe this should never stand in the way of a girl’s education or her future.

The PrincessD Menstrual Cup offers a practical, long term solution. It is reusable for up to 10 years, comfortable and convenient, cost effective, and helps reduce the waste created by disposable menstrual products. 🌸

Most importantly, access to reliable menstrual care can mean fewer missed school days, greater confidence, and one less barrier between a girl and her dreams. 📚✨

With the support of our Brand Ambassadors, we hope to reach more communities, share more knowledge, and continue making a meaningful difference — one girl at a time. 💖🌍
