🌍 Help us bring an end to the 800-year pad problem.
A disposable pad is used for hours, but its plastic can remain in the environment for centuries.
Real Relief has launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to bring Gopad, our new disposable pad made with biotransformation technology, to market. 💚
🌿 WHY IT MATTERS
Conventional pads contribute to plastic waste in landfills, waterways and on beaches, where plastic can break into microplastics. Reliable period care and reducing waste should go hand in hand.
💚 MEET GOPAD
Gopad is designed to offer familiar comfort and protection, with technology designed to transform its plastic into an earth-friendly wax in as little as two years under suitable environmental conditions. This process depends on exposure to sun, water, air and heat.
🤝 WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
Real Relief is a small company with a big goal: reaching women and girls worldwide, including communities with limited or non-existent waste management systems.
Your pledge supports three key milestones:
• User-experience testing
• Finalising sustainable packaging
• Completing regulatory approvals to reach more markets
