Moraka Menstrual Cups
Menstrual cups are a small bell size device used by menstrators during their period. Menstrual cups are an alternative to tampons and pads.
There is no need to dispose of the cup as it's reusable and lasts over 10 years.
Kia ora, everyone,

🤪💋🍑💦In conjunction with our fifth birthday this year we’re teaming up with for a juicy, uncensored digital zine project “Maharanis Gone Wild” on s*x, bodies, dating and relationships.
We’re searching for your best stories, selfies, texts, dating app screenshots, poetry, playlists and basically whatever you envision!
Tell us about that night on K Road or at Bar 101, the latest softboi you met on Hinge or release that pent up shame from cultural and patriarchal norms enforced on our bodies. 15-20 of the text submissions will be selected and collaged by Migrant Maharanis and featured on both our IGs.
Migrant Maharani’s is a collective dedicated to sharing and empowering the experiences of South Asian migrant women. While this zine is open to contributions from all migrants of colour, we prioritise the voices of South Asian women and marginalised genders.
Submit to [email protected] with the subject line “Maharanis Gone Wild” by Nov 1st, 2022. We can’t wait to hear from you!

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month – are you aware?
Moraka has teamed up with our chosen charity Cure Our Ovarian Cancer NZ] to help fund research and treatment for Gynaecological cancers. For each cup sold on our website in September Moraka will also donate a portion of our profits to our chosen
Ovarian cancer is the 5th most common cause of cancer death in New Zealand.
NZ’s 5 year survival rates are almost 5% worse than Australia.
8 in 10 women with ovarian cancer will be misdiagnosed.
So you need to know when and what to ask.
If you are unable to get a public ultrasound, a private ultrasound costs $250-300.
Most women with symptoms won’t have ovarian cancer, but if you do, being tested quickly could save your life. It’s worth the peace of mind to rule it out.
Ovarian cancers and other related health issues pertinent to women are under-researched and underfunded.
For Ovarian Cancer Month Moraka has teamed up with Cure Our Ovarian Cancer NZ] for our 'blue' cup. Each cup comes with a Cure Ovarian Cancer sticker and information about how to seek healthcare for Ovarian Cancer or other related cancers.
Order on our website (link in bio) and please share this post to spread awareness!

The story
Moraka Menstrual Cups is a student run business under the Young Entrepreneur Scheme. ‘Moraka’ means freedom of the body and expression. This aligns with the core values of the business. When you use a menstrual cup you should feel free and unconstrained by society’s stigma of periods
Shuari joined the Young Enterprise Scheme in 2019 with her business Moraka Menstrual Cups, a social initiative to introduce the idea of menstrual cups as an alternative to pads and tampons to young women. Shuari was very concerned about "period poverty" and the stigma around periods which results in young women missing out on their education and other important activities because they could not afford sanitary products. She was also concerned about the long-term environmental impact of current disposable sanitary products. She researched and tried several menstrual cups which would be fit for purpose and affordable for young women. Shuari marketed her product online and in student led markets with a good response from young women. .
In 2019 Shuari was awarded the Mike Pero Silver Award for Business and Entrepreneur of the Year for the Bay of Plenty Regional YES finals. The team that she led won the Team of the Year award.
In 2019 Shuari was awarded the Lions Club Gold Award for most volunteer hours. This year she has been elected President of the Papamoa Leos Club at Papamoa College. She has been award the Student Volunteer Army bronze, silver and gold awards. She continues to use her time to vounteer for social causes including Kai Aroha, Breast Cancer Foundation, and 40 Hour Famine, and running Moraka Menstrual Cups.
Shuari has used Moraka Menstrual Cups as a platform to spread awareness about period poverty. She started that first Period Chapter in Tauranga with a focus on education around period health. As part of the Period Chapter she had donated her cups to various organisations such as BEYOUTIFUL, Warrior Princess Workshops to educate young girls. Shuari has also donated her cups to Endo Warrior Aotearoa, an organisation which supports women who have Endometriosis. She has donated a cup to Talking Trash NZ which focuses on zero waste lifestyles.
Shuari has been interviewed by an Australian podcast called Feminism Ruins Everthing and her local community newspaper, Papamoa Community Post.
Shuari's period activism has raised awareness about periods and the use of alternate eco-friendly products such as reusable pads, period underwear and menstrual cups.
The long term legacy is yet to be seen because Shuari's work is gaining momentum.
