Pads on a Roll: Making Period Care as Standard as Toilet Paper

This conversation explores the need for broader access to menstrual products — a basic necessity that’s still treated as optional. We share a story of a period mishap many women can relate to, followed by an interview with Jennifer Severns of Egal Pads, who is leading a movement to make period products as available and stigma-free as toilet paper.We can't stop talking about:The design breakthrough of “pads on a roll” — a simple, sustainable solution that hangs right next to toilet paper in stalls at schools, airports, and stadiums.How stigma and silence around menstruation fuel challenges for girls and women —  unnecessarily missing life events.Why menstrual equity is both a dignity issue and a business case: when women have what they need, they can stay at school, at work, and in the game.Connect with Jennifer:LinkedIn: Jennifer Severens Visit: Egal: Pads on a RollHave an idea or story to share?
