About "toreluna (Toreluna)"

Toreluna is a service that allows users to receive sanitary pads free of charge inside restroom stalls. By scanning a QR code displayed on a digital signage screen within the stall using a smartphone app, users can obtain a pad. Advertising revenue generated from the digital signage covers the cost of the pads, enabling continuous service delivery without financial burden to users.

How to Use Toreluna

(1) Download the dedicated app "toreluna" on your smartphone

(2) Scan the QR code located at the bottom right of the digital signage inside the restroom

(3) Receive a sanitary pad

※ After receiving one pad, the app will be locked for 2 hours.

※ The maximum number of pads a user can receive per month is 7.

About the "1minute,1napkin" Project

In addition to providing pads inside stalls, Toreluna runs the "1minute,1napkin" initiative: for every minute that an advertisement is shown on Toreluna digital signage units nationwide, one sanitary pad is donated to communities in need. This program channels ad revenue from corporate partners to deliver sanitary products to municipalities, schools, disaster-affected areas, and other organizations facing shortages.
