Introduction
The recent introduction of the
Toreluna service at
Green Walk Tama, a popular shopping mall in Hachioji, Tokyo, has pioneered an innovative approach to women's health by providing free access to sanitary napkins. Operated by
Next Innovation Inc., this service aims to normalize the availability of menstrual products in public restrooms, addressing an often-overlooked aspect of women's comfort in public spaces.
Service Overview
Launched with the installation of 19 dispensing units throughout the mall, Toreluna allows women to access sanitary napkins directly from restroom stalls. This initiative benefits a diverse clientele, including families, students, and seniors, reflecting the mall's commitment to creating a safe and comfortable environment for all visitors.
The Importance of Convenience
Green Walk Tama stands out as a modern shopping destination, featuring a wide range of facilities from home improvement stores to restaurants. Located conveniently near Keio Horinouchi Station, it attracts a mix of visitors who can now enjoy peace of mind knowing essential supplies are readily available. The integration of Toreluna aligns with the mall’s focus on providing a supportive environment while also promoting awareness around menstrual health.
How Toreluna Works
Toreluna operates through a user-friendly mobile application, ensuring a seamless experience for users. To access sanitary napkins, users need to:
1. Download the
Toreluna app on their smartphones.
2. Open the app and scan a QR code located on the dispenser in the restroom.
3. Retrieve the sanitary napkin.
To maintain responsible usage, the app enforces a two-hour lock after each retrieval, limiting access to a maximum of seven napkins per month per user. By harnessing technology, Toreluna ensures that essential products are just a scan away.
Future Prospects
The vision behind Toreluna transcends beyond just the Green Walk Tama launch. The ultimate goal is to promote a culture where access to sanitary products is seen as a standard across all public facilities. Next Innovation Inc. plans to expand the service to various locations, including offices, schools, and more shopping malls across the country. By actively seeking partnerships with like-minded businesses, they encourage a collective effort towards changing societal norms and increasing awareness around menstrual health.
Conclusion
Ultimately, Toreluna is not merely a product-distribution service but a statement that highlights the importance of menstrual health accessibility. By leveraging technology and collaboration, Next Innovation Inc. is steering the conversation toward a more inclusive and compassionate society where women can manage their health needs with dignity and ease.
