Welcome to the Justisse Method Cervical Mucus Gallery. 

This gallery was created by a dedicated team of Justisse College graduates with the support of the JCI faculty.

Our aim with this gallery is to help more people understand the variety of tissue and cervical mucus notations and learn how to use them more efficiently while they’re learning the Justisse Method. Please note photos are not always easy to interpret and that the charter is the one that learns to identify their own mucus observations.

The notations presented here are the Justisse Method notations. To avoid confusion and achieve your intentions please do not combine them with other Fertility Awareness or Natural Family Planning Methods.

Vulvovaginal Sensation

The Vulvovaginal sensation refers to a general sensation of moistness or wetness in the vagina or on the vulva. It can take a little practice to pay attention to this feeling and it can also be felt on underwear.

M=Moist

W=Wet

Wiping Sensation

The wiping sensation is the sensation you feel when using a tissue to wipe across the vulva and perineum. This is done both before and after every trip to the bathroom or bathing activity.

Your Justisse Method Instructor can help you confidently assess your observations.

D=Dry

L=Lubricrative

S=Smooth

Tissue/mucus appearance

Tissue/mucus appearance refers to how the tissue looks or to the texture, color, and stretch capacity of any mucus that can be picked up from the tissue after wiping across the vulva.
