DESCRIPTION

Egal’s Pads on a Roll help women manage their periods safely, privately, hygienically and with dignity. Pads on a Roll look like toilet paper, are individually wrapped, and are installed next to toilet paper so the products are available when and where they are needed. Typically period pads or tampons, if they are even stocked, are located in separate vending machines by the sink -- not where you want to find them, and often too late to help.

Egal means equal…all bodily functions should be treated equally.

Tech4Eva has been great. The mentors are especially helpful. The cohort is inspiring us, and you really get to know what everyone is going through more than other accelerators I have been involved with. Additionally, the special sessions have super useful specialists that I have learned a lot from. Since we have started Tech4 Eva, we have gotten a lot more global interest.

We aim to better clinical, operational, and economic outcomes by using point-of-care tests that allow on-the-spot decision-making for clinicians.
