Problem
Many public restrooms lack readily available menstrual hygiene products, causing stress and inconvenience for menstruators who may be caught unprepared. This absence creates inequitable access to essential period products in public spaces.
Solution
Egal provides individually wrapped menstrual pads on a roll designed for easy dispensing in public restrooms, similar to toilet paper. The system ensures convenient and free access to period products in schools, businesses, and public spaces. Egal pads are designed to fit standard toilet paper dispensers or Egal's custom dispenser. By offering readily available pads, Egal aims to reduce the anxiety and challenges faced by menstruators when they unexpectedly need period products while away from home.
Target Audience
Egal targets schools, businesses, public spaces, restaurants, bars, and airports seeking to provide equitable access to menstrual products for students, employees, and visitors.
