Two years ago, Egal Pads, received the Hygienix Innovation Award. Since its founding three years ago, the company has built manufacturing capabilities in both India and China. It has completed pilots in 1,700+ schools and is present in more than 50 library districts and stadiums in both the UK and the U.S. as well as in some of the largest airports in the world. The product is available in the US, Canada, UK and soon South Africa, Japan and the Middle East and has launched with national distributors such as Staples, Grainger, Office Depot, W.B. Mason Company Inc., ISG, phs Group, and many others. Egal Pads has managed this all with less than $3 million raised by friends, family and angel investors as well as an amazing team.

By placing period products that look like toilet paper directly in the stall, we're sending a clear message: menstruation is a natural, normal part of life that deserves to be acknowledged and accommodated without shame or secrecy.

In additin to the Hygienix Innovation Award, Egal Pads has received awards like The Essity Venture Challenge and the Women’s Health Innovation Europe Award and was finalist in the Massachusetts 2024 Innovation Award and in the IFMA and ISG 2024 Innovation awards.
