My.Flow: The Pioneering Bluetooth-Connected Tampon for Real-Time Period Tracking

An innovative American startup has introduced My.Flow, the world's first Bluetooth-connected tampon.

My.Flow empowers women to monitor tampon saturation in real time. It sends alerts for changes, helping prevent toxic shock syndrome and infections.

At its core is a compact Bluetooth sensor attached to the tampon string, linking to a monitor that clips to underwear or fits in a pocket. This device captures data and relays it to a smartphone app, letting you check status anytime and get timely notifications. Practical? It streamlines protection.

The app doubles as a cycle tracker: log start/end dates and heavy flow days to anticipate periods accurately.

Discreet monitoring costs $50 (or €44) for the monitor, plus a few euros per tampon. Showcased recently to U.S. media, My.Flow seeks investors for production. Ready to embrace this femtech breakthrough?
