Innovation touches every aspect of our lives. Yet, menstrual health products have remained largely unchanged for decades. Enter Nadia Ladak, the co-founder of Marlow. She’s on a mission to revolutionize menstrual health. Marlow, born from a university project, is more than just a company. It’s a movement prioritizing comfort, breaking taboos, and empowering women one lubricated tampon at a time.
Prioritizing Comfort and Health with Lubricated Tampons
For too long, women have accepted discomfort as part of their menstrual cycle and traditional products often fall short in comfort. So Marlow’s innovative approach addresses these issues head-on with their groundbreaking formulated lubricant. It eases tampon insertion, addressing a common issue for perimenopausal and menopausal women: vaginal dryness. Nadia explains, “One in three women experience vaginal dryness. It could be natural, due to birth control, hormone changes, post-pregnancy, perimenopause or menopause.”
By including this lubricant, Marlow makes their product accessible for women of all ages. Lubricated tampons – a simple solution that can significantly improve a woman’s monthly experience.
Breaking the Silence Around Menstrual Health
While better products are crucial, true change requires more. It needs breaking down the stigma surrounding menstrual health.
Enter the TMI Club—short for “Too Much Information.” This initiative tackles all kinds of taboo topics. From tampon insertion guides to discussions about waxing, TMI Club leaves no stone unturned.
And Marlow’s educational efforts go beyond online content. They’ve taken their message directly to schools and universities. They host workshops providing young women with essential information about their bodies. These events, coupled with online resources, create a comprehensive approach to education.
Making the Uncomfortable Comfortable
Nadia emphasizes the importance of these efforts: “We want to encourage people to advocate for their health. To understand their body and know what’s normal. You don’t have to put up with pain. There are solutions to make this experience more comfortable.”
