Juniper

How We Sprouted Juniper sprouted with the idea of creating environmental change by bringing eco-friendly alternatives for more sustainable periods. With a main goal to reduce waste in mind, the menstrual cup was introduced to Lebanon as a more comfortable, hypoallergenic and reusable substitute for pads and tampons. Juniper’s blooming journey brought with it a new but expected challenge that has always been an issue in many societies: stigma. Today, Juniper's mission is not only to create change on the environmental level, but also to target and reduce this stigma by encouraging women to speak up and not feel ashamed of the uniqueness of their bodies. To make this possible, Juniper has extended its branches beyond making cups more accessible. Juniper has committed itself to changing how the female body is perceived, by raising awareness through discussions relating to periods, encouraging talks relating to women’s health and hygiene and shedding light on essential scientific facts that are often unknown and disguised by cultural myths. As Juniper mothers its berries, it becomes a safe space where women feel understood, supported, and empowered to go out into the world and be unapologetically themselves. Juniper strives to re-create a world where women are empowered and earth is evergreen. Sincerely, Juniper Team
