In partnership with Rael, a 360 holistic feminine and beauty company dedicated to clean period care, intimate care, and skin care, SOS is redefining wellness on the go through a rapid expansion of smart vending machines.
Together the brands are giving away 200,000 tampons and pads at all of SOS’ 100+ machines throughout the next year to increase access to essential personal care products in busy public locations. The partnership is backed by a six-figure investment from Rael and is the largest direct brand investment to date for SOS.
"Every woman has experienced a moment when she needed a tampon and one was nowhere to be found, a frustrating feeling only exacerbated when in a public space like a sporting arena or office building," said Susanna Twarog, co-founder and co-CEO of SOS. "We believe that all people deserve access to period care products wherever, whenever, and our partnership with Rael helps us bring that mission to fruition as we make their organic, effective pads and tampons available for free in all of our machines."
