LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Elvie, the female-led FemTech innovator of the world’s first silent wearable breast pump, will host “Glass Ceiling Day,” a virtual event to inspire conversation and awareness around the critical issues impacting women across the world today. The event, in collaboration with HeyMama, the social platform for working mothers, will take place on February 23 and feature discussion between distinguished women’s advocates Tania Boler, Founder and CEO of Elvie, and Meena Harris, New York Times best-selling author and co-Founder and co-CEO of Phenomenal.

“Glass Ceiling Day” will open a dialogue around topics such as women’s health, female entrepreneurship, challenges facing working mothers, and social justice issues impacting the lives of women across the globe.

About Elvie
Founded in 2013, Elvie is a British brand developing smarter technology for women. After realizing the lack of support for new mums, CEO Tania Boler brought together a team of world-class engineers, designers and business minds to redesign the existing unattractive and outdated medical devices in women’s health into sleek consumer products that could be used at home.
Elvie now has four products on the market. The first to launch, Elvie Trainer, is an award winning Kegel trainer and app. Used to help women strengthen the pelvic floor via fun, five minute workouts, Elvie Trainer is recommended by more than 1,000 health professionals worldwide. Its second product, Elvie Pump, is the world’s first silent, wearable breast pump. Elvie Pump is completely cordless and worn inside a bra, making it possible for women to pump anytime, anywhere – at home, at work or on-the-go.
The newest additions to the line-up are Elvie Curve and Elvie Catch; both enhancing the Elvie breastfeeding range. Elvie Curve is a wearable, silicone breast pump that uses natural suction to enable comfortable, hands-free expression while you are pumping or breastfeeding using the other breast. And Elvie Catch is a set of two secure milk collection cups to catch leaks and collect additional milk.
