With that decision came Jenny's attempts to use a Hannahpad-like product made in South Korea as an alternative because she was very uncomfortable with traditional products.
Marcus became curious about the composition and hygiene of the reusable pad and decided to make his own tests on conventional market products, then detecting the harmful presence of herbicides and insecticides in industrialized pads.
As a result, the Melbourne couple created their own version of the reusable pad in Melbourne, bringing to the market an environmentally sound, healthy and much more comfortable option than pads filled with substances that can cause allergies and irritation to a woman's skin and intimate region.
