My name is David Vala, I invented and designed the hygienic tool “WURINA” for women. The lack of similar products on the market for women has always been of my concern. Before all I was most concerned about prevention and protection of women from health risks related to the use of public toilets. The primary reason for this was that I have been surrounded by women all my life, and it is said, that I am a good listener. Every single time, when I visited a music festival I would hear of the same bad experiences from women having to use unclean toilets, or cases when women would rather leave coffee shops early from their get-togethers with friends to use bathroom at home than use the one in the coffee shop. And I am not even mentioning cases of pregnant women who have the need to urinate on far more frequent scale.

In fact, most women find it difficult to use bathroom elsewhere than in the comfort of their own home. And when you find yourself in a situation where you really have to use toilets in places other than home, you usually try every other option to avoid sitting on the toilet seat, such as decorating the seat with toilet paper or holding the walls in order to perform basic human need. I respect women, and I believe that your dignity should not be compromised, ever! Most of my friends would tell me that this is “normal”, this is the way it is, this is how they were taught form young age, and that there was no other option. I remembered that I already saw a tool which could help women to resolve this issue. However, the tools available on the market at the time, were strangely formed, weirdly appearing cones which were not complex or they were not functional at all.

And this is when I began to think profoundly about this problem. I designed first prototypes of samples which I gave to my friends for testing, with their feedback and help I was able to further improve, innovate and finally achieve a product that is suitable for all women. I began to pursue this idea with all I had. While I was discouraged by close friends and family, I sold my apartment in order to gain some capital, in order to finance production and marketing for my product. I left my job and I invested all my passion and efforts into the project WURINA.

It is not fair, that us, men, can “go” practically anytime and anywhere, but women are significantly disadvantaged. If men can stand to satisfy their need, who said that women can’t? It might just be a prejudice, a habbit, as my friends who tested my product told me, they would not leave their homes without Wurina in their handbag. I am confident, due to very positive feedback of many women, that my hygienic tool helps and protects you women. Thanks to Wurina you will always feel confident without compromising your dignity.
