We want to leave an impact, not a trace, so we designed our packaging to be as environmentally friendly as possible. 97% of tampons on the market today are made of plastic, and as most of us break the no-flushing rule, they inevitably end up choking a turtle or changing the shape of the Thames. No small feat for such a small product.

We spent a lot of time conducting material innovation and analysing the life-cycle of our sustainable packaging, which includes renewably sourced sugarcane applicators, water-soluble paper wrappers, a compostable refill pouch and recycled paper mailers. Our mission isn't only to close the gender pain gap, we want to relieve the burden period care places on the environment too.

Did you know that even though tampons go inside your vagina, they’re currently less regulated than plasters and hand sanitiser? Since we don’t believe in cutting corners, we’re producing our own manufacturing machines, which are housed in a pharma-grade environment, and introducing strict cleanliness and safety production standards. We treat our tampons as medical devices and sanitise them every step of the way, up until the final packaging stage.

We’re a small team of risk takers and thoughtful decision makers, inspired by female intuition and driven by the lack of innovation in women’s health. We’re not here to complain about the way the world is: we’re here to do something about the taboo of female pain and move forward.

It’s time to break the vicious cycle of gender siloed experiences when it comes to menstruation, because the only way to move female health forward is to include everyone in the dialogue.

Following the launch of our female health educational content platform, Vitals, we have plans of releasing our first period care product to London consumers in autumn, along with a female health and analytics app.

Our tools are here to deepen your understanding of your body. We’re not trying to define what healthy should mean for you, we’re here to emphasise the importance of health on your terms.

And now, we’d like to thank our sponsors (just kidding, we didn’t get funding for free. This was a standard equity deal). We consider ourselves lucky to have the backing of three great funds: Index, Kindred and Khosla. Our research has been supported largely by the Center for Applied Science and Innovation at the Sofia University, Faculty of Biology.

For now, you know the drill. Like, follow, subscribe. Particularly to our newsletter to stay tuned about future product launches.

To a new Daye in women’s health,
