Marlow, a Toronto, Canada-based community-driven period care brand that created a lubricated tampon for smoother and more comfortable insertion, raised $1.9m in funding to date.
Love x Money Ventures (FKA Shine Ventures), Dream Ventures and other angel investors participated in this round.
The funds and services provided will support US market expansion, Amazon channel growth, and new product development.
ounded by Nadia Ladak, Simone Godbout, Harit Sohal, Kiara Botha, Marlow aims to solve for the discomfort, pain and dryness many feel when inserting tampons. In fact, 1 in 3 women (55 million in North America) experience vaginal dryness, causing pain when inserting tampons (source: Cleveland Clinic).
Marlow’s tampons are designed for use with the brand’s travel-friendly, compact and leak-proof bottle of lubricant meant for dipping the tampon, via a cross slit valve for a mess-free application process. They’re made with only 100% organic cotton and feature a plant-based applicator and compostable packaging.
Their products are currently stocked in 200+ retailers across Canada and the U.S. including Whole Foods.
