Hi everyone,

I’m Vilmantė Markevičienė. For the past 17 years, I’ve worked as a period product designer, researcher, and patent holder. I've spent my career studying exactly why mainstream menstrual products fail our bodies. I am hosting an AMA over at r/BoredPandaHQ to discuss:

  • Health & Body Literacy: Why leaks actually happen, why your skin becomes irritated, and what your body is actually doing.
  • Industry Secrets: What is actually in standard products, hidden materials, and why the industry is so slow to change.
  • Debunking Toxic Trends: The actual science behind viral internet "hormone-balancing" hacks.

Proof:
