Sanicle was created to build the communication gap between fathers and their daughters talking about menstruation. Inspired by the realization that women’s menstrual care needs were often overlooked in various workplaces, I recognized the pressing need for comprehensive solutions. My dedication was further fueled by his own experiences and the stories he heard from women across different industries. Understanding that menstrual care played a crucial role in women’s productivity, satisfaction, and health, I saw an opportunity to create a positive impact on their lives and the environment. With a strong desire to empower women and promote sustainable practices, I set out to revolutionize the femtech industry.
