Entry Description

Ora is a self-care brand offering a menstrual cup and applicator duo designed to ease the intimidation of folding and inserting cups for young teens. Named “Ora” for its meaning—an opening at the cervix—and the Japanese parental call “ora,” it symbolizes supportive care. Our universal fold cup and applicator focus on natural, intuitive, and reliable menstrual care. The product is eco-friendly, promoting menstrual education and ensuring every young individual has access to clean, trustworthy menstrual products.
