The Shift in Period Product Accessibility
In a world where accessibility and equality are becoming key societal goals, Egal is stepping up to meet the urgent need for menstrual products in public facilities. The company has achieved remarkable success with its innovative product, Pads on a Roll, promising to change the landscape of period care for those who have been underserved.
Unprecedented Global Expansion
Since its launch in 2022, Egal has rapidly transformed into a pioneering solution for managing menstrual needs. With its unique approach, Pads on a Roll has penetrated high-traffic spaces such as airports, universities, and stadiums around the globe. Notable installations include:
- Denver International Airport
- Allianz Stadium in Twickenham
- Pepsi UK manufacturing facilities
- Schools and libraries across multiple countries
According to CEO Penelope Finnie, the product aims to eliminate the stress and anxiety associated with having periods unexpectedly while in public. “Periods are unpredictable,” she emphasizes, aiming to provide confidence and convenience to users wherever they go.
Acknowledgment and Accolades
Beyond growth, Egal has received numerous awards, solidifying its reputation in the industry. Among the recognitions are:
- TIME’s Best Inventions 2025
- Social Change Maker of the Year from the Stevie Awards
- ISSA Australia Excellence Award for Innovation
These accolades highlight the company's significant impact on social norms surrounding menstruation and its contributions to global public health.
Behind the Innovation: A Simple Solution
Egal’s unique Pads on a Roll system consists of 40 individually wrapped pads that are discreetly placed next to toilet paper. This not only makes them easily accessible but also eliminates the need for vending machines—a barrier to access in many public bathrooms. Installation takes less than five minutes, making scaling easy for facilities globally.
Future of Menstrual Care: Sustainability First
In addition to expanding its availability, Egal is also committed to sustainability. The launch of its new plant-based pads in the U.K. and EU underscores this promise, ensuring that the products are not only user-friendly but also environmentally responsible.
Community Impact and User Testimonials
Users of Pads on a Roll express their gratitude for the initiative. A user at Allianz Stadium noted, “I started my period unexpectedly and had nothing with me! Finding those pads was a lifesaver.” Such testimonials underline the importance of having menstrual care products available in public spaces, reducing the stigma associated with menstruation and promoting period equity.
