Next Innovation Inc. (Kita-ku, Osaka; CEO: Kenichi Ishii) announces that its service 'toreluna' (hereinafter referred to as 'toreluna'), which provides free sanitary napkins in individual toilet stalls, has carried out a donation of sanitary napkins to Meisei High School (Masuda City, Shimane Prefecture) as part of its '1minute,1napkin' project.
This project is promoted in collaboration with our company and the international cooperation NGO JOICFP to install menstrual hygiene products in educational settings and to promote understanding of SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights), including menstruation, which is one of women's health issues. We will continue to expand our collaborations with schools, municipalities, companies, and related organizations, aiming to create an environment where the continuous installation and operation of menstrual hygiene products becomes established.
Comment from Meisei High School
An environment where 'menstrual hygiene products are always available' creates a small but certain sense of 'security' in daily school life. We feel that it alleviates anxiety and stress in emergencies, allowing students to face their studies and activities with a calm mind. Furthermore, at our school, this project will be operated by the students themselves. We hope that through the experience of thinking about and implementing a comfortable environment for themselves with their own hands, it will be a first step in fostering connections with society and compassion. We are deeply grateful for your warm support that encourages our students.

About the '1minute,1napkin' Project
In addition to providing napkins in individual stalls, toreluna runs the '1minute,1napkin' initiative, where for every minute of advertising played at toreluna installation locations nationwide, one sanitary napkin is delivered to a place in need. This initiative allows advertising placements on toreluna digital signage to contribute to solving social issues, delivering menstrual hygiene products with partner companies to regions and organizations that need them, such as municipalities, schools, and disaster-stricken areas.
◾️ Also Expected for Use as Disaster Preparedness Supplies
The sanitary napkins donated through this project can be used not only for regular use but also for life support during disasters.
- Disaster preparedness supplies
- Life support in evacuation centers
- Local disaster prevention measures
They can also be utilized as disaster prevention supplies. We will continue to develop this initiative in collaboration with local communities, including educational institutions, as a measure to ensure local safety.
