Period care is an essential aspect of women's health, and it's crucial to approach it holistically. Periods can bring a range of physical and emotional challenges, and many women struggle with the associated symptoms, such as cramps, bloating, mood swings, and fatigue. Additionally, some women may feel ashamed or embarrassed to discuss their periods, leading to a lack of education and awareness about this critical aspect of their health.

To address these issues, we want to better understand women's experiences with periods, including their attitudes towards period care, their unmet needs, and their preferences for period relief products. As a healthcare company, we are specifically looking to explore new ideas and innovations in period care!
