Brief: help women to feel confident and informed about their bodies, sexuality and fertility - without any negative side effects. Assist them in making intentional decisions about reproduction by decoding the ovulation and the fertile window.

One covid-19 test including everything, use approximately 10g of plastic. Which illustrates the scale of plastic destined for landfill.
