Chemicals can cause various side effects such as itching, pain, and allergies, and if worn for a long time, inflammation through bacterial infection may occur.
nuee's menstrual panties are arylamine, formaldehyde, and allergen dye free.
It has passed the KOTITI safety test, so it can be worn healthy.
Women in refugee camps and slums are suffering from the economic burden of the cost of disposable sanitary pads, replacing them with discarded scraps of cloth or dried leaves.
Therefore, we will try to reduce the burden of disposable sanitary products by one-third and triple the number of beneficiaries of government subsidies by providing reusable menstrual panties for three years.

Worldwide, approximately 100 million teenage girls live below the absolute poverty line¹.
They have not received proper sex education and are experiencing menstruation without knowing what menstruation is.
In some areas, girls are even locked up in spaces called menstrual huts during menstruation, forcing them to isolate them from homes and schools.
Safer menstruation, accurate menstruation knowledge education
We are donating menstrual pants and menarche education materials to refugee camps and slums in Uganda, Kenya, and Vietnam to support suffering girls.
We will continue to support and help them avoid discrimination and suffering simply because they were born in a poor environment.

Female firefighters / police officers / military personnel / medical staff wearing dustproof clothes are difficult to replace disposable sanitary products due to the nature of their jobs, so they often end up with a single sanitary pad all day.
Starting with the Daegu Fire Safety Headquarters in 2020, we will donate nuee panties so that women working in various special situation occupational groups can focus on their work.
Gender equality, further equal human rights
We do not discriminate in employment, wages, promotions, etc. for any reason, such as gender, age, race, or religion, and we are creating an environment in which all employees can respect human rights and receive fair treatment.
