Comment: The reader has to read between the lines and guess that this is a company and that it is American – please tell the readers what the topic of the article is in the introduction! The draft is rather fragmentary, with a couple of unrelated pieces of information, and nothing that ties the text together. I'm sure that if you know what Winx health is, the text is informative, but again, the context is missing. bonadea contributions talk 20:24, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
Winx Health, a Philadelphia-based women’s health company, got its start in 2019 by selling direct-to-consumer pregnancy tests. Winx now offers a wide range of other vaginal and women’s health care products including ovulation tests, and yeast infection tests and treatments.[1]
In June 2022, the same week that the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Winx launched an emergency contraception product and donated more than 30,000 free doses of emergency contraception.[2][3] The company also produces extensive educational content including Real Talk, which provides medically-backed information on women’s intimate health topics, sex education, and reproductive rights.[4]
In October 2024, Time magazine named Winx's "Test & Treat" product for UTI as one of the best inventions of the year. Users urinate on a test strip, receive immediate results, and can then video call with a doctor for a prescription.[5]
The actress Kerry Washington is an investor and advisor. Discussing her work with Winx, she told People magazine, “The ability to really know ourselves and take care of ourselves allows us to love ourselves and to live empowered lives of choice as women."[6]
The founders of Winx are both Venture for America alumni who participated in the Entrepreneur Roundtable Accelerator program in New York.[7][8]
