Description

There are 3.8 billion women in the world. Can you imagine the opportunity if we were to truly focus on their everyday needs?

Improving female health requires gender-specific innovation that actively addresses women’s* specific biological, cultural, environmental and behavioral realities. Together with innovators, investors, corporates and gender specialists, join us as we explore:

  • How to apply a Women-Centered Design lens to female health innovation and investment
  • Menstrual health as the entry point to female health across the entire lifecycle
  • Women-Centered Design Rising Stars: Showcasing disruptive, cutting-edge health technologies, programs and services, especially for vulnerable populations

*We recognize that trans and non-binary individuals may not identify as women and want to ensure their experiences are represented by the term ‘female health’

We acknowledge that this event takes place on the unceded, ancestral lands of the of the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We are grateful to work, learn and connect on these lands.

Accessibility information is forthcoming, please email marketing@lunapads.com with your specific needs and we will do our best to accomodate.

We are thankful to our sponsors!

Welcome to your new period aisle.

We believe the period aisle should be stocked with safe, effective products that work great, feel great and do good for our environment.

In 1993, we launched the first line of modern reusable period products as Lunapads. We’ve been in this game for a long time, carving out a place of our own in the period aisle. Now we’re reinventing it.

That’s what’s behind our products - the belief that we can create a different way to do business, with a steadfast commitment to transparency, sustainability and inclusivity.

We all deserve comfortable, earth-friendly products that actually work for us - period products for every body.
