Period power
Power to the period.
The future of period health is here.
Menstrual blood isn’t waste. The blood our body naturally delivers every month has never been explored as a health testing source. Until now.
We believe people who menstruate should be given the choice to proactively and routinely manage their health using menstrual blood.
A PAD WITH A PURPOSE
Introducing the Q-Pad.TM
The first and only healthcare service to scientifically prove menstrual blood can test for critical health information – just like a traditional laboratory blood test.
We believe all people who menstruate should have the choice to a non-invasive and needle-free way of managing their health. We’ve crafted the Q-Pad to be conveniently and seamlessly used during menstruation.
Instead of a trip to the lab or a finger prick, you can proactively and routinely monitor existing health issues while also screening for others.

Ending the Stigma
Health not hygiene.
Over 70% of health decisions are made from lab work.
Your period blood tells you about biomarkers that could impact your health.
FUTURE Q-PAD
BIOMARKERS
HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c)

Closing the Gender Data Gap
Women's health has always been under prioritized in science.
Exercise your right to participate in research.
Female biology has not been studied equally since the beginning of medical research. The data used to guide clinical diagnosis today is biased to male biology. So, when women are not included in research, medical diagnosis may not be accurate for women.
You have the right to participate in research and be represented.
CLOSING THE GENDER DATA GAP
Women’s health has always been under prioritized in science.
We want to change this.

Changing the conversation
What women are saying.
would be interested in using the Q-Pad instead of their current HbA1c test method.

Loved the Q-Pad. Would buy for myself in the future!

would recommend the Q-Pad to a friend or family member for health monitoring.

Between February and May of 2022, I've had my blood drawn… over 6 times. It's time consuming, and I don't really like needles. I’d rather collect and send my blood in using Q-Pads.

about us
We are a group of scientific rebels.
We are a group of people who believe something that 1.8 billion women do at any given month should not go unanswered.
In 2014, Qvin™ was founded to research and develop a product that powers an underserved and understudied population — women.
We have been challenging the status quo on period blood as a health, not hygiene product.
Qvin [pronounced kwɪn] is derived from the word woman in Denmark. We stand for every person who identifies with women, however they define it.
