Daye wants to change the market and tackle the problem of period waste with its new products. The company founded in the UK is trying to create sustainable and science-backed products in a market that it says lacks innovation and is heavily monopolized.
Daye said it created the world's first flushable tampon wrapper that is water-soluble and can be dissolved in seconds.
Users of Daye's CBD tampons say that it also offered menstrual pain relief, and that the lubrication of the product gave them additional comfort.
The tampons are made using cottonized hemp, a process that creates a material that is similar to cotton, and answers customers calls for eco-friendly and plastic-free period products.
A life-threatening condition called toxic shock syndrome can be caused by a life-threatening condition, which is caused by a plastic infection in the vagina.
A Life Cycle Initiative report says that more than 90 percent of tampons contain petrol-derived plastic.
You wouldn't chew on a piece of plastic for five days a month. The founder of Daye says why would you place a piece of plastic against the most absorbent part of the human body.
Period products, including packaging and wrapping, produce more than 200,000 tons of waste a year according to data from All Matters. The European Commission found that menstrual products are the fifth most common item washed up on beaches in Europe.
Daye is trying to remove plastic from its period care items through its products, which are made from bamboo.
Daye pads are made from bamboo. Daye.
It is important for us to create products that enable people to make sustainable choices and we are looking to make the pad have a flushable wrapper.
Women were excluded from clinical trials for period care products until 1993. The clinical data could be affected because of the patriarchal view that women could be pregnant at any point in time.
The policy of including women in clinical research by the US National Institute of Health was not translated into federal law until 1993.
Daye wants to bridge the gender gap in clinical research and push for innovation in gynaecological health. The company is working on a product that will allow the screening of vaginal health at home through a product that will help fight vaginal infections. The period product market is dominated by a few key players, which can stifle innovation.
She said there was a lack of funding for research and development.
Daye is one of the few companies in the UK that gives their workers period leave. According to YouGov statistics, as many as 57% of women say that period pain has affected their ability to work.
Spain could be the first country in Europe to offer three days of period leave to workers with severe menstrual pain.
There is a need for more open conversations about how period pain affects workers.
I think the Daye office leads the way on this because you always hear about vaginal infections, period leaks and strategies for getting period blood out of your underwear. I hope every office is like that.
