Safepad Namibia

🌍 Help us bring an end to the 800-year pad problem.

A disposable pad is used for hours, but its plastic can remain in the environment for centuries.

Real Relief has launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to bring Gopad, our new disposable pad made with biotransformation technology, to market. 💚

🌿 WHY IT MATTERS

Conventional pads contribute to plastic waste in landfills, waterways and on beaches, where plastic can break into microplastics. Reliable period care and reducing waste should go hand in hand.

💚 MEET GOPAD

Gopad is designed to offer familiar comfort and protection, with technology designed to transform its plastic into an earth-friendly wax in as little as two years under suitable environmental conditions. This process depends on exposure to sun, water, air and heat.

🤝 WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP

Real Relief is a small company with a big goal: reaching women and girls worldwide, including communities with limited or non-existent waste management systems.

Your pledge supports three key milestones:
• User-experience testing
• Finalising sustainable packaging
• Completing regulatory approvals to reach more markets

What if one box of menstrual pads could prevent over 500 disposable pads from becoming waste?

That’s the difference reusability can make.

With proper care and repeated use, one box of Safepad can replace over 500 single-use disposable pads throughout its usable life.

That means fewer disposable pads produced, used once, and discarded and a significant reduction in the menstrual waste generated over time.

At Safepad, sustainability is built into the way we think about menstrual health: protecting people while reducing the environmental burden of period care.

One box. Hundred of uses. Less waste.

Did you know that not all menstrual products have the same environmental footprint? 🌍🌸

The materials used, how a product is made, how often it is used, and what happens to it after use can all affect its impact on the environment.

That’s why understanding the environmental footprint of the menstrual products we use matters.

With reusable options like Safepad, one product can be used repeatedly, helping reduce the amount of menstrual waste generated over time.

Your period care can be good for you and more mindful of the planet. 💗🌱

🩸 Did You Know? Stress Can Change Your Menstrual Cycle!

Feeling stressed lately? Your body may be responding in more ways than you realize, including changes to your period.

Stress can:
🔹 Delay your period or make it come earlier than expected
🔹 Cause lighter or heavier bleeding
🔹 Lead to missed periods in some cases
🔹 Worsen symptoms like cramps, headaches, and mood swings

When you're under stress, your body releases hormones that can affect the delicate balance of hormones responsible for regulating your menstrual cycle.

✨ Taking care of your mental well-being is also taking care of your menstrual health. Prioritize rest, stay active, eat well, and don't hesitate to seek support when you need it.

At Safepad Nigeria, we believe that understanding your body empowers you to make informed choices about your health.

💧 Quick-Drying Comfort, All Day Long!

One of the standout features of Safepad is its quick-drying technology. Designed to dry quickly after washing, it makes cleaning and reusing your pad easier and more convenient.

Less waiting. More convenience. Reliable protection you can count on, month after month.

Choose comfort. Choose confidence. Choose Safepad. 💜
