The gender gap is real within the #healthcare sector. Docters are more likely to minimise or ignore women's pain. #femtech could be a powerful ally in levelling the playing field and democratising women's healthcare. #femalefounders #startup

Food for thought: Your reproductive region can absorb chemicals 10x more effectively than if you ingested it. You shouldn't be eating foods where you don't know where their origins are from, so why should it be the same with your period products? 🐸

“94% of boys admitted to not knowing a lot about periods, with 42% finding them awkward & 38% embarrassing” How could we hope for better when education re: periods is so scanty? Lots to do on this front (not just by brands ideally) - let’s keep talking! bit.ly/2NCKiwE
