SOMERVILLE — With only 20 states mandating free feminine hygiene products in school, a Somerville company has created a product to make providing free sanitary products as simple as refilling a roll of toilet paper. In Massachusetts, free feminine sanitary products are not mandated to be provided in school, however, Tom Devlin, founder of Egal, has invented a potential solution for this issue: pads on a roll. The pads are individually wrapped and packaged in a roll with perforated plastic covers so each pad rips neatly off the roll.
