Iris + Arlo, we’re on board!

Iris + Arlo, what is it?

Launched a few weeks ago, Iris + Arlo acts as an agent of change to democratize and make menstrual products accessible to all people who need them. Just like toilet paper and hand soap, menstrual products are a necessity for managing natural bodily functions and promoting human health. Iris + Arlo is a new social and environmental impact company created by and for women and people who menstruate.

A study shows that 34% of Quebec women say they have had to sacrifice other essential expenses (for housing, clothing, and even food) in order to have enough money to buy menstrual products. More than 1 in 4 Canadian women occasionally has to choose between buying food or menstrual products, and 8% of them have to make that choice regularly.

Catapulte joins the movement

By taking part in the Changer les règles movement, Catapulte commits to making Iris + Arlo products freely available to its team. In doing so, we also contribute to fighting menstrual poverty, as their products will be donated to local community organizations.

Let’s get on board!

To join the movement, visit laruchequebec.com/irisarlo. You can pre-order products or make a donation on the crowdfunding platform.

The amount raised during this crowdfunding campaign will be invested in the production of the first orders and the development of the transactional website. The first products are expected to be delivered in the summer of 2023.
