When Alexandra Friedman co-founded LOLA, an organic tampon company, she hoped to fulfill the needs of women by engaging them in constant conversation. She recently revealed to Cheddar just how far that conversation has gone at times. “My favorite tidbit is that customers have actually called us from the bathroom,” Friedman told Cheddar. She says being in contact with her customers has helped her hone in on the company’s mission. “We’re women building a brand for women, and we want it to reflect the needs of women throughout their lives,” Friedman told us. LOLA prides itself on incorporating customer feedback into its products. Founded in 2013, LOLA is a subscription-based tampon company that offers women organic products. The company offers customizable assortments delivered to your door. For full interview, [click here](https://cheddar.com/videos/how-lola-is-destigmatizing-periods).

The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county.

The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
