About Elle International
Elle International
Elle International NPC is a South African non profit company, registration number 2017/118607/08, connecting reusable period care, menstrual-health education and dignity-first partnerships for girls and women across South Africa.
Our story
Elle began with period care. The need was bigger.
A period product can keep a girl in class for a day. Clear health education can change how she understands bleeding, pain, hormones, fertility and care for the rest of her life.
On ellecup.org, that mission shows up as practical reusable care: menstrual cups, menstrual discs, leakproof underwear, fit guidance and partnership routes for schools and communities.
Elle International NPC is registered with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission as a Non Profit Company under registration number 2017/118607/08.
- Comfort with support. Products are paired with guidance so people can choose, use and care for reusable period products with less guesswork.
- Dignity beyond one cycle. Reusable products can reduce repeat monthly costs and help support long-term access.
- Partnership-ready impact. Schools, NGOs, companies and donors can fund product access with education and reporting.
Why Elle exists
Better period care should be practical, not privileged.
Elle International connects product access, menstrual-health education and partner-funded distribution so period care can become easier to choose, easier to afford and easier to talk about.
The goal is simple: fewer people missing school, work or daily life because period care is too expensive, too confusing or too stigmatized.
How we work
Products, education and partnerships belong together.
Reusable care works best when people understand the product, have the right fit, and receive support in a setting they trust.
Care that can support many cycles.
ElleCup, ElleDisc and ElleFlow options help people build reusable routines for periods, heavy flow, school days, sleep and backup protection.
Guidance that makes switching easier.
Fit guidance, product education and body literacy help turn a reusable product into care someone can use with confidence.
Programmes shaped around real communities.
Partnerships can support schools, community networks, employee wellness, NGO distribution and donor-funded product access.
What Elle stands for
Period care should protect dignity, time and choice.
People deserve products that work, language that is clear and support that does not shame them for needing help.
