00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.000
We all have periods, it’s part of being a woman.

00:00:04.185 --> 00:00:06.801
Millions of us use period products. They give us freedom.

00:00:06.937 --> 00:00:09.500
But this freedom is coming at a cost.

00:00:15.541 --> 00:00:19.399
That’s enough to circle our planet 260 times.

00:00:19.454 --> 00:00:23.719
Most are single-use, contain plastic, and non recyclable.

00:00:27.344 --> 00:00:30.701
Soon there’ll be more plastic in our oceans than fish

00:00:31.204 --> 00:00:34.131
We’re rethinking many plastic problems

00:00:34.521 --> 00:00:36.521
Let’s rethink periods.

00:00:41.204 --> 00:00:43.204
Small, smart, simple.

00:00:43.265 --> 00:00:48.027
D provides the comfort of a plastic applicator, without the plastic waste.

00:00:48.494 --> 00:00:52.189
We co-founded DAME which makes tampons and educates girls about periods.

00:00:52.347 --> 00:00:57.119
But we realised the extent of waste coming from these small everyday products.

00:00:57.284 --> 00:01:02.929
After months of hard work, and a lot of science, we’ve brought D to life.

00:01:04.075 --> 00:01:09.718
We wanted to make the smoothest most hygienic applicator, that was really easy to use.

00:01:10.828 --> 00:01:14.650
The lipstick size device comes in two parts and a case that slots together.

00:01:15.405 --> 00:01:18.420
It can fit any size tampon for any woman.

00:01:18.484 --> 00:01:23.719
It’s silky smooth for maximum comfort, and our trusty String Lock prevents any snagging, so it’s always reliable.

00:01:24.149 --> 00:01:29.138
Each piece is medical grade BPA free for safe use.

00:01:29.545 --> 00:01:34.828
Antimicrobial technology baked into the applicator helps keep it hygienic.

00:01:35.230 --> 00:01:39.852
Cleaning it? Just wipe, rinse, and go. It’s that simple.

00:01:40.495 --> 00:01:42.828
You just wash it, put it straight back in your bag.

00:01:43.049 --> 00:01:45.049
Fits right next to my lipstick.

00:01:45.135 --> 00:01:49.439
It’s a way to be environmental but still using a product that you are comfortable with.

00:01:49.486 --> 00:01:53.099
Each D comes with it’s own travel pouch for easy storage.

00:01:53.176 --> 00:01:56.129
There’s room for DAME organic tampons too.

00:01:56.204 --> 00:01:59.960
Even our tin packaging is reusable - nothing goes to waste.

00:02:00.025 --> 00:02:02.420
DAME is on a mission to rethink the tampon.

00:02:09.074 --> 00:02:12.908
We can beat plastic by making small changes.

00:02:12.985 --> 00:02:15.822
The best thing about D? There are no changes.

00:02:15.881 --> 00:02:17.881
It fits into your life seamlessly.

00:02:17.955 --> 00:02:20.180
We’ve already got the prototype, we’re ready to go.

00:02:20.224 --> 00:02:24.697
We need Kickstarter’s support to bring D to life, for women and the planet.
