Oceanside woman was frustrated by the stigma around menstruation. So she started a company to address it

The stigma that continues to surround menstruation isn’t new, but there are firsthand experiences and secondhand accounts that stick with. One of those was the time when a high school intern told Powell about going through her backpack while with a group of male friends, one of her pads falling out of the bag, and those friends reeling back and exclaiming, “Ew!”

Powell, 34, lives in Oceanside and took some time to talk about her goal of normalizing menstruation and creating spaces where people who menstruate feel supported and have easily accessible products within their reach.On your website, you say that the company was born during a time when you were “feeling extreme discomfort, pain and frustration” in your body. Can you talk about what was going on at that time?In 2018, I started spotting between periods.

Later, after switching to an obstetrician/gynecologist, she knew at my first appointment that my symptoms weren’t normal. After ordering an ultrasound, they found a symptomatic fibroid ; it would need to be surgically removed. When I researched fibroids, I found out that 70 to 80 percent of women will get a fibroid in their lifetime.

The campus tried to roll out a pilot program to provide free menstrual products, but the products ran out within a couple of weeks. The dispensers were coin-operated, but there were cash handling policies that didn’t allow cash to be transported without a police escort, which was not feasible for a large institution with hundreds of bathrooms, so they opted to make every restroom vending machine out of order. I tried to source a solution, but could not find one at the time.

Destroying hurricanes with conventional explosives like TNT or C4 and stop hurricanes in the ocean. The solution is based on a pair of huge TNT or C4 explosions which creates a vertical disk that disassembles the hurricane. Best regards, Eng. E. Shocha
