5. Femtech and Transforming The Tampon with Valentina Milanova
Manage episode 349080048 series 3264111
This week Dr Suba talks with Valentina Milanova, founder of Daye. Daye is a company looking to raise the standards in gynae health. Valentina tells us about her personal story behind launching Daye, how they are revolutionizing the humble tampon and what else they’ve got in store.
We learn about tampon standards (don’t blink, you’ll miss them), taking the tampon beyond being a menstrual product and why we need femtech!
In our short we hear about the Rely tampon scandal from the 1980s, dish up the facts on toxic shock syndrome - leaving your tampon in for too long is only half the story - and ask what's changed in tampon manufacturing since then.
We deserve so much better!
