Every woman deserves a period with dignity.
A share of every sale becomes reusable pads, given through local NGOs to women and girls in Indonesia.

Millions of women and girls in Indonesia cannot manage their period safely.
For many of them, a period means more than pain. It means staying home from school because there is no clean toilet, no water, no pads, and no one to ask.
This is called period poverty. It means not having the products, the knowledge or the facilities to manage your period with dignity.
It is harder in villages and remote islands, where shops are far and pads cost too much. It is also harder when talking about periods is still seen as shameful.

In 2024, we set aside 10% of our revenue every year to make reusable pads for donation. When our sales grow, our giving grows too.
We give the pads to local NGOs in Indonesia. They already work in schools and villages, and they know which women and girls need them most.
Our partners give each pad a period health session: how the body works, how to use and wash the pad, and why periods are nothing to be ashamed of.
"I felt really happy when I knew about Perfectfit! I received new knowledge about menstruation and got free reusable pads. I feel really comfortable as no irritation occurs.
It’s been two months now I no longer need to buy single-use pads. I can save the money to cover my transport to school. I started influencing my classmates to switch to Perfect Fit pads because it’s more economical. I hope that my classmates can also use Perfect Fit pads.”
Yuliana, 15. Waikabubak, West Sumba
We count every pad we donate and every woman our partners reach. These numbers come from our production records and our partners' distribution lists.
From 2021 to 2023 we gave one pad for every purchase. In 2024 we changed to giving a share of our revenue, so we could work through local NGOs who reach women more directly.
What we don't measure yet: whether each woman is still using her pad one year later, or how much the program changes school attendance. These things are harder to track, and we don't want to guess. We are working with our partners to find simple, respectful ways to follow up.
When we learn more, we will share it here, good or bad.
