A New Freedom for Women
Will The Lotus Pod™ make menstruation easier to handle for girls in need? Of course it will… These young girls and their families can’t afford menstrual items so the giving of menstrual freedom is the perfect gift.
When food and water are luxuries and medicine an impossible dream, menstrual products are simply not on the list of priorities for millions of women.
If they could buy them, there is likely no place to dispose of the used products. It’s a western conceit to assume there is someplace to put the leftover plastic and paper other than on the side of a road.
Walk through an African village and you are greeted with a sea of plastic, all of it caught in bushes and drifting across fields.
On the other hand The Lotus Pod™ is reusable, eliminating the problem of disposing. Just think of the difference that a discrete, reusable, menstrual product could make to a developing world woman – one product that lasts for years and years.
The market testing of The Alicia™ and the Lotus Pod™
The results were astonishing, once women tried the product, they said they would never go back, they all felt that it gave them better control over their period, as they could for the first time in their life really understand their flow better, and could pick-up any problems much easier, such as changes in blood from day to day, heavier than ‘normal’ flow, if there was any clotting or something they felt wasn’t right compared to previous periods. They all felt more in tune with their body with the use of The Alicia™.
The Alicia™ will eliminate the need for tampons and sanitary pads and revolutionize the female hygiene market worldwide
