Menopause Conversations - Ep 70 Egal Pads On a Roll - Menstrual Dignity

In our latest episode, I had the privilege to sit down with two inspiring leaders from Egal Pads On a Roll: Penelope Finnie, CEO, and Niamh D’Arcy, Head of Growth, UK, to dive into a crucial yet often overlooked topic –Period Dignity. ✨ The Story Behind Egal Pads Ona Roll: It all began when Tom Devlin read an article in the Boston Globe and realised that ‘periods can be treated like any other bodily fluid when using a toilet cubicle.’ This sparked the innovative idea of ‘pads on a roll,’ and he collaborated with Penelope Finnie to bring it to life. Their vision? To make menstrual products as accessible as toilet paper. 🔍 Key Highlights from the Episode: 1️⃣ Period Dignity: We discuss the design of menstrual pads in a way that considers ease of access. How often do we find ourselves searching for period products when we need them the most? Egal’s person-centred design is transforming toilet cubicles, making menstrual care a seamless part of the restroom experience. 2️⃣ The Name ‘Egal’: Penelope Finnie shares the origins of the name and its powerful connection to equal rights. It’s more than just a brand—it’s a movement toward equality in period care. 3️⃣ Data Insights: With the integration of QR codes, Egal pads On a Roll are collecting valuable data. Interestingly, many users disclosed that they were using the pads for incontinence as well. This opens up a broader conversation about the diverse needs of women and how menstrual products can be part of the solution. 4️⃣ Denver Airport’s Initiative: We explore the success story of Denver Airport, which provides Egal pads On a Roll to its 25,000 female staff and customers. This forward-thinking move has garnered positive feedback and is setting a precedent for other large venues. 🙌 #ThankYouDenverAirport 5️⃣ How Much Can a Pad Hold?: We take a closer look at the science behind Egal pads. Designed to hold 30ml of blood (around 2 tablespoons) for 4-6 hours, these pads feature SAP (super absorbent paper) similar to nappies and contain a gel for added absorption. Exciting news— a plant-based version is set to launch next year! 🌱 6️⃣ The Psychology of Free Period Products: Egal’s pads on a roll were tested in Fairfax, Virginia, where they were made available to the homeless in a portable public bathroom. The result? No theft or overuse, but rather immense gratitude and respect for the continuous availability of such essential products. 7️⃣ The History of the Toilet Cubicle: It’s hard to believe that toilet paper only started being placed inside cubicles 100 years ago. Before that, it was kept outside! We discuss how far we’ve come and what it means for menstrual products in public spaces like stadiums, airports, and bus stations. We also touch on plans for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles and how Twickenham Stadium is already leading the way by offering pads on a roll. 8️⃣ Education and Period Poverty**: We discuss Egal’s mission to combat period poverty and change how girls experience menstruation. The pilot project in Portsmouth is helping to keep girls in school by making period products more accessible. Periods should never be a reason for girls to miss out on education. This episode is packed with eye-opening insights and solutions to create a world where menstrual dignity is a reality for all.
