Magpie Ventures Supports Egal: Advancing Accessible and Equitable Feminine Hygiene

Menstruation is a natural biological process, yet the persistent lack of accessibility and equity in feminine hygiene products remains a pressing issue. Egal, an innovative company dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to period products, has emerged to combat these issues.

Magpie Ventures, a RI-based investment group, is excited to share its $56,000 investment in this revolutionary startup. This strategic investment will help support Egal as the work to transform the feminine hygiene industry, ensuring greater accessibility and equity for women worldwide.

The global challenges of period poverty and limited access to affordable, high-quality feminine hygiene products have plagued women for far too long. The economic barriers and social stigmas surrounding menstruation impose significant hardships on those who struggle to afford or obtain the necessary products. Moreover, the environmental impact of conventional period products raises concerns about sustainability and waste management.

By designing products on a roll, Egal aims to address several pivotal issues. The roll-based products provide a distinct advantage by reducing packaging and transportation costs, resulting in enhanced accessibility in restrooms as opposed to current options. Additionally, the escalating environmental impact of traditional period products underscores the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. The roll-based system significantly reduces packaging waste and exemplifies its dedication to minimizing the ecological footprint associated with feminine hygiene.

Egal's groundbreaking roll-based system offers a transformative solution to the challenges faced by women regarding menstruation. Magpie is delighted to support Egal in their shared vision and unwavering commitment to driving positive change, this collaboration will empower women, challenge societal taboos, and contribute to a more equitable world.
