Egal Pads received the Hygienix 2022 Innovation Award for Pads on a Roll, a wrapped super-thin absorbent period pad that dispenses like toilet paper in public bathroom stalls. The product aims to prevent the personal embarrassment of not having a menstrual product when needed.
For Penelope Finnie, CEO of Egal Pads the award was gratefully appreciated: "Egal and “Pads on a Roll” are honored to have been chosen as the Hygienix Innovation Award winner. We are passionate about gender equity and our part can be to provide a period product. All biological functions need to be treated equally, and INDA and Hygienix are the perfect entities to help move this vision forward."
Egal Pads was on of three finalists selected to present their products during the Hygienix Conference in New Orleans. Other finalists included Kimberly-Clark’s Kotex Pantyliner with pH Indicator, and Sposie Kids’ Sposie Dribbles® Potty Training Pads.
The awards presentation was one of the highlights of Hygienix 2022, which attracted 500 absorbent hygiene and personal care professionals from 30 countries and throughout the supply chain.
“The energy and excitement at Hygienix centers on the thriving developments in the absorbent hygiene and personal care industry. Hygienix gathers those most relevant in the supply chain in one place to advance the nonwovens and engineered materials business,” says Tony Fragnito, INDA President.
Hygienix 2023 will return to New Orleans next November.
