Reusable hand-sown breast pads
"32 years old, a mother of 3 children. I am a housewife with side roles as a business owner, teacher, and therapist. Originally from Tawangmangu, Central Java, near Mount Lawu.
I made reusable sanitary napkins from soft cotton fabric, printed and then sewn.
It started from my anxiety after graduating high school about non-natural products. Many women were experiencing cysts and other intimate health issues, and I have always preferred natural things.
When I was in university, I started selling cloth pads, but they were from another brand. Alhamdulillah, they sold very well, but the products had many shortcomings because they used standard materials.
After graduating, I decided to create my own brand of cloth pads. I bought a sewing machine and traveled around Solo to find the best materials for making them.
I truly learned through trial and error. There was so much to improve in terms of materials, shape, and more. In the first year after launching, 20 distributors had already joined 🥹🥹🥹
This business has now been running for 9 years, the same as the age of my marriage."
