Always collaborated with Wonder Women to spread vending machines around Pakistan!

Always is pleased to announce its collaboration with Wonder Women to put sanitary pad vending machines in educational facilities all around the nation, making it simpler for girls to get menstrual hygiene supplies.



Finally! The females won't feel alone, perplexed, or upset any more. Given that Pakistan is a conservative nation, society finds it challenging to inform and empower young girls about how typical periods are. Because of this, many women choose not to go shopping for sanitary pads because they feel uncomfortable buying them from male shops. They are fast to conceal sanitary pads in a black shopping bag when making a purchase at a market. Their confidence will increase, and their lives will become much simpler, if vending machines are installed in schools and universities. Women can avoid humiliation with the use of a self-service machine.

Having Sanitary Pad vending machines at educational institutions may save ladies a lot of time and worry. College students already have a lot on their plates, so tracking one's menstrual cycle and bringing a pad is an extra step that shouldn't be necessary. College students will have one less worry if pads are easily accessible, and all social groups would have easy access to them.


Wonder Women is a FemTech firm with offices in Lahore, Pakistan. The company wants to use technology to make period care easier for women so they may feel really empowered. The Team is prepared to install more machines with Always brand sanitary pads in institutions for the benefit of students and instructors. The Team has already deployed several units in Pakistan. These devices also have the benefit of being simple to use. To use it, you must insert the notes into the device and then click a button. Both educated and illiterate people can utilize the vending machine.

The coalition government's "priority" was to keep Pakistan from going into debt. Finance Minister Miftah Ismail said Tuesday that saving Pakistan from default was the coalition government's "priority" after the rupee hit an all-time low against the dollar and equities fell during the day's trading. The Pakistani rupee touched a record low of 224 against the dollar in afternoon interbank trade before finishing at 221.99 — the largest day-on-day decline since June 26, 2019 — while the benchmark KSE-100 index finished at 40,389.07 points, a 20-month high.
