Think tech isn’t sexist? Try finding a tampon at SXSW.
After walking the floor of one of the most celebrated tech conferences in the world, Steph Loffredo, a social media director at Huge, was appalled to find a broken, coin-operated dispenser in the women’s restroom. We thought that was bullshit and decided to do something about it. One year later, Steph went back to SXSW to launch Hooha.
Free tampons via SMS. No quarters needed.
Hooha dispenses with a simple, anonymous text. No crank to jam or knobs to break. Plus, it knows when it’s empty and sends a message when it needs to be refilled.
A small team.
A world-changing idea.
Created entirely in-house, Hooha was called a world-changing idea by Fast Company, and Steph herself was named a Digiday Future Leader among other accolades.
