Who are we?
Hi! We're The M Scale and for the past 18 months we've been on a (self-funded) mission to bring better period care to everyone in public spaces.
We are a menstruation facility review app that allows users to review and check public spaces based on how well they can manage their menstrual needs. With 85% of women saying they feel anxiety when having to manage their period outside the home, our app is designed to inform and put pressure on public spaces to improve their facilities. Not only for women, we also aim to serve the LGBTQ+ community in finding a safe space to go bathroom.
Over the past 18 months, we have dedicated our efforts to building, rebuilding, growing, and trialling our app. Our hard work has led to:
· Over 450 reviews
· More than 200 active users
· 40 local establishments rewarded with 5-star ratings in our accreditation system
Our most recent initiative involves piloting the distribution of period products in public bathrooms. We've successfully started this with a local restaurant in London and plan to expand this initiative later this year, ensuring period products are available where they are needed the most.
Why we need your help
We are raising money to continue our efforts. So far we have been entirely self-funded pouring any extra cash we have into keeping us afloat. Now we need a small injection to get to the next phase of our development.
The funds raised will be used to:
· Enhance and finalise our app development
· Launch our initiative to provide period products in hospitality bathrooms
· Expand our user base and increase the number of reviews and accredited establishments.

At this stage we are primarily focused in London, and you may have seen us before! If not, keep an eye out for these stickers the next time you're using a public bathroom:
