It’s time we talked about Menstrual Health
We're a Swiss association bringing together professionals, experts, and individuals united by the belief that understanding our menstrual cycles is fundamental to personal well-being, both mental and physical. Through meaningful conversations, shared stories, and accessible resources, we're building a community that empowers you to live in tune with your cycle – and breaking down stigmas, together.
Our Story
unboxing cycles began with a personal journey of self-discovery. Like many, our founder, Maja Juzwiak spent years disconnected from her body's natural rhythms, relying on a one-size-fits-all approach to health. It wasn't until her late twenties she began to question these norms and learn more about her own cycle.
The experience also highlighted a startling gap: so few people have an understanding of their own menstrual cycles. Maja's personal 'unboxing' of her cycle led to her desire to create a space for others to do the same. This project evolved into unboxing cycles, an association dedicated to bridging the knowledge gap and fostering a community where every person can recognise the significance of their cycle.
The menstrual cycle is a vital sign, a source of empowerment, and a topic we should be able to discuss openly and without shame.

Our paths are different.
We come from diverse countries, backgrounds, and professions. We live in different realities across Switzerland (and some abroad) and speak various languages (English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish…). And yet, what unites us is the belief that women's well-being and the journey of self-discovery are not luxuries — they are essential.
unboxing cycles is a collaborative space. We each bring our unique passions, skills, and experiences into the project — where, how, and when we can.
There’s no rigid structure. Instead, there’s trust, purpose, and a shared vision. It’s not just about building something for others — it’s a self-discovery process for us, too. As we co-create unboxing, we also align with our own personal paths and missions.
Our international and interdisciplinary makeup is one of our strengths. It gives us a vast web of perspectives, knowledge, networks, and opportunities. We believe in the power of collective intelligence. As the saying goes:
