EveryHer began with the two of us — sisters, moving through different stages of life, but discovering the same thing again and again: women are still expected to quietly manage some of the biggest changes in their lives without the support, products or dignity they deserve.
As we moved through the later stages of our own reproductive lives, we started to experience firsthand how much these changes can affect confidence, comfort, work and everyday life. At the same time, one of us was navigating a major life change after a spinal cord injury, bringing new challenges with continence and the reality that the right products are often not available when they are needed most.
Seeing our mother go through stage 4 uterine cancer, made us even more aware of how important education, awareness and practical support are as our bodies change throughout life.
Like so many women, we remember periods arriving at school, at work or away from home with no products available in the bathroom. Too often, the answer was to improvise with toilet paper, leave what we were doing, or simply feel embarrassed for having a completely normal need.
We kept coming back to the same question:
Why are essential products still not available in the places where they are needed most?
That question became EveryHer.
We created EveryHer with a simple purpose — to make essential women’s health products available in bathrooms, free to access, from her first period to her last period and through every stage in between.
We believe the products available should reflect what she actually needs at that point in her life. That may mean first-period support for a teenager, everyday menstrual care, products for changing needs during perimenopause and menopause, or support for changes brought about by illness, injury or major life events.
We also want EveryHer to be thoughtful about more than access alone. We are committed to choosing products that are organic and environmentally responsible wherever possible, and to providing biodegradable disposal bags so used products can be sealed and disposed of with dignity.
For us, EveryHer is about changing what women should be able to expect when they walk into a bathroom.
No improvising.
No embarrassment.
No being caught without what she needs.
We believe these products should simply be there.
Every change. Every stage. Every her.
