We at my.Flow have created the world’s first tampon monitor to solve the issues of period stigma, shame, anxiety, leakage, and risk of infection, by letting menstruators know in real time how full their tampons are – because no matter how long you’ve had your period, there is no way to tell how full a tampon (America’s most ubiquitous period solution) is – you can’t see or feel it. We’re here to bring Peace of Mind. Period.
It was at Berkeley in 2015, where Amanda completed her MEng in IEOR, that she was part of a class project team at the Center for Innovation Technology and Research in the Interest of Society that developed an early prototype of a tampon monitor. This turned into my.Flow, which got picked up by HAX in early 2016, where she and her team devoted themselves to development of a fully functional device that will aggregate data for women everywhere in a way that has never before been possible.
