And with every Cora product purchased, pads are given to a girl in a developing country who needs them. Since launching in 2016, Cora has provided five million pads to thousands of girls so they can stay in school, play with their friends, and pursue their greatest ambitions every day of the month.
Cora represents the smart, chic, and conscious woman of today and is transforming the experience of womanhood on a global scale.

Molly was the first entrepreneur in the menstrual care and women’s wellness space to establish a modern, pro-social brand, presenting the issues of healthier products and women’s global social justice to the mainstream female consumer.
At 30 years old, Molly and Cora has been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Forbes, and other major media outlets, and she has garnered awards for her innovative and holistic approach to elevating women globally through for-profit business, including being named to the Forbes 30 Under 30.
