The 524 disc received 301,500 yen from 67 people at READYFOR. Currently, we are developing it in our own e-commerce. Among those who supported us were not only women suffering from menstruation, but also men who were interested in solving global issues such as the SDGs. All of them have a strong desire to "increase the number of options for women's bodies" and agree to spread this sanitary product.
We were also introduced by well-known female experts, athletes, intellectuals, and activists, such as Ichika Takimoto of the Association for the Promotion of Japan Sexual Knowledge, Kaisuke Kashiwano, a women's soccer player from Matchamore Kyoto Yamashiro, Ai Yamada, an Australian women's professional basketball player, Aki Kuma, the head of Earth Rhythm, and Satomi Toda, a female entrepreneur.
For example, it is perfect for the following people.
(1) People living in "period poverty" who are unable to purchase sanitary products due to economic reasons (SDGs 1 and 3)
The hygienic and reusable 524 disc saves you about two years' worth of sanitary products.
(2) Those who are aware of the global environment (SDGs 12 and 14)
It is estimated that women who use napkins consume the equivalent of 36,000 to 38,400 plastic bags in their lifetime. On the other hand, 524 discs are reusable and highly recyclable, making them "eco-friendly" and sustainable sanitary products, which contribute to maintaining a beautiful planet.
(3) Energetic working women and athletes (SDGs 5.12)
In fact, in the world of sports and work, women are often neglected or underestimated because of their periods.
The 524 disc has less worry about leakage, can be used for 12 hours continuously, and does not feel uncomfortable to wear, so you can forget about your period and work or play sports. OIISA provides a society in which women continue to shine so that working women and female athletes can envision their careers in high definition.
