Wingwomen Inc. Announces FDA Exemption for Four Devices from Groundbreaking Vaginal Speculum Patent Attempt

Published

on

San Francisco, California, United States, 17th Apr 2025 – Wingwomen Inc., the women’s reproductive health start-up founded by doula, and student-midwife Adonica Shaw, proudly announces that four of the eight devices from its original 2023 vaginal speculum patent attempt have been officially exempted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This critical milestone clears the path for these innovative devices to enter multiple markets in 2025.

Founded in 2021, Wingwomen Inc. was launched with the mission to radically reimagine women’s reproductive care. In 2023, Shaw submitted her first patent application, aiming to redesign the vaginal speculum—a tool that has seen little innovation since its invention in the 1800s. After initial pushback from consultants and advisors who deemed the designs unviable under FDA regulations, Shaw took a bold step in 2024 by open-sourcing feedback on her work.

“After our failed attempt to open a clinic in Boston and being told repeatedly that our designs wouldn’t meet FDA standards, we began winding down the company,” said Shaw. “But after creating a digital version of the speculum and winning the FemTech of the Year award from MedTech World in Dubai this February, my mentors encouraged me to go directly to the FDA—without consultants—and do my own diligence.”

Following her submission, the FDA reviewed the original 2023 designs and determined that four of the eight devices qualified for exemption. With support from a private firm, Wingwomen is now preparing for global market entry of these devices.

Each speculum was thoughtfully designed to address a range of patient factors—such as age, BMI, reproductive history, race, and anatomy—offering a more inclusive, comfortable alternative to traditional designs.

Historically, the vaginal speculum has a fraught legacy. It is still widely used today during IVF embryo transfers and cervical cancer screenings, yet its origins trace back to male physicians like James Marion Sims, whose experimentation on enslaved Black women casts a long shadow over the field of gynecology. Shaw’s work aims to both redesign the device and reframe the experience of its use.

“We have the science, the data, and the ethical guardrails to do better by women,” Shaw added. “These designs are the result of lived experience—as both a patient and a care provider. This is a human-centered reimagining of what should have always been a more compassionate and dignified experience.”

Adonica Shaw is a 4x TEDx speaker, author, doula, student-midwife, and integrative health coach. She serves as a patient advocate with the Preeclampsia Foundation. In parallel, she is the founder and CEO of Wingwomen Companies which are dedicated to improving health outcomes for women and children.

GroundingTime Debuts Eco-Friendly Bamboo Grounding Sheet to Redefine Rest

Published

on

United States, 29th Apr 2025, – San Francisco, CA — In a world that’s increasingly disconnected from nature, GroundingTime is proud to unveil its latest innovation: the Bamboo Grounding Fitted Sheet | 5X Grounding Power for Better Sleep Groundingtime — a wellness-forward, eco-conscious sleep essential designed to bring the science of grounding into your bedroom, without compromising on style, softness, or sustainability.

GroundingTime Debuts Eco-Friendly Bamboo Grounding Sheet to Redefine Rest

Nature-Inspired, Science-Backed

Grounding, also known as earthing, is the practice of connecting your body directly to the Earth’s natural electric charge. Studies suggest that this connection may support better sleep, reduce inflammation, and promote a greater sense of calm and balance.

Our Bamboo Grounding Fitted Sheet is designed to help facilitate this connection — effortlessly. Using a proprietary blend of conductive silver fibers woven into ultra-soft bamboo fabric, the sheet connects via a grounding cord to a grounded outlet, helping your body naturally sync with the Earth’s energy while you sleep.

“We wanted to take The Science Behind Grounding Therapy | How Earth’s Energy Heals – Groundingtime and make it easy, beautiful, and accessible for everyone,” says the GroundingTime product design team. “This sheet is as much about comfort as it is about connection.”

GroundingTime Debuts Eco-Friendly Bamboo Grounding Sheet to Redefine Rest

Why Bamboo?

Unlike traditional cotton or synthetic fabrics, bamboo is naturally breathable, hypoallergenic, and antimicrobial. It also happens to be one of the most sustainable resources on the planet.

Each GroundingTime sheet is made from certified organic bamboo sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring minimal environmental impact while delivering maximum comfort.

Key Benefits of Bamboo:

Thermoregulating & breathable

Incredibly soft — even after multiple washes

Naturally moisture-wicking and odor-resistant

Hypoallergenic — ideal for sensitive skin

Built-In Multi-Point™ Grounding Therapy | 5X Enhanced Grounding Technology – Groundingtime

What sets this sheet apart is its integrated grounding grid of pure silver threads. These threads are seamlessly woven into the fabric, allowing for safe and effective conductivity without sacrificing comfort.

The sheet comes with a grounding cord and adapter that easily connects to a standard grounded outlet, giving you the benefits of grounding while you sleep — with no need to change your habits or routines.

Functional Design That Fits Your Life

The Bamboo Grounding Fitted Sheet is available in multiple sizes, with 15‘’ deep-pocket corners that fit even oversized mattresses. It’s machine-washable, easy to set up, and designed to integrate smoothly with any bedroom aesthetic.

Whether you’re new to grounding or a long-time believer in the benefits, this sheet is a simple yet powerful addition to your wellness routine.

What Customers Are Saying

“I’ve been using the GroundingTime bamboo sheet for just two weeks, and I’ve noticed deeper, more restful sleep. The fabric is unbelievably soft — I honestly don’t want to get out of bed.”

— Laura M., verified buyer

“I’ve struggled with chronic pain in my lower back for years. After sleeping on the GroundingTime bamboo sheet for just a few nights, I woke up with noticeably less stiffness and tension. It’s the first thing I’ve tried that’s made a real difference — naturally.”

— Daniel R., verified buyer

Sustainability at the Core

GroundingTime believes that wellness shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. That’s why every sheet is packaged in plastic-free, recyclable materials, and a portion of each purchase goes toward reforestation and clean water initiatives.

The Bamboo Grounding Fitted Sheet is now available exclusively at www.groundingtime.com, with free U.S. shipping.
