LONDON - Callaly is to receive a £173,000 grand from Innovate UK’s Sustainable Innovate Fund, to further develop sustainable elements for its award-winning Tampliner - an organic cotton tampon with a built-in mini-liner.
The Tampliner sees a regular tampon attached to the mini pantyliner with a patented virtual applicator for clean insertion, removal and protection against leaks. It was developed by gynecologist Alex Hooi after her research revealed that while the average woman will use around 11,000 tampons in her lifetime – over a quarter of them claim to be unsatisfied their choice of product.
