Eu
Organic sanitary pad designed for people in vulnerable conditions.
Menstrual poverty refers to the lack of access to sanitary products due to financial limitations. Eu is a sanitary pad that is a campaign against Menstrual Poverty, we want to provide dignity, a sense of belonging, and a better quality of life to menstruating people in Latinamerica. They are sold through a gift matching system, where each purchased product equals the donation of another. This is a single-use product because of the lack of basic sanitation infrastructure in vulnerable situations, the absorbing material is made from certified biodegradable components. It is possible to use both as a sanitary pad, as well as a tampon, providing greater autonomy and choosing the power to the users. Eu puts the spotlight on menstrual hygiene, it is not a privilege, it’s a right. Do your part so we can all live in a better world.
