■Cotton Lab Co., Ltd. Comment from the person in charge

Once in a while, menstruation is always with women, but there are many women who have worries and depression. "Organic cotton napkins" use organic cotton grown without the use of pesticides, and we will not only make women feel comfortable, but also work on activities to improve the global environment and the working environment. "Organic cotton napkins" will work together with ORGABITS and customers to do "something good" for the global environment.


■ Comment from Mr. Nishigawa, representative of NPO corporation DEAR ME

Since 2015, we have continued to support children and women living in disadvantaged environments in the Philippines through fashion. Regardless of whether it is in Japan or overseas, menstruation is an integral part of every month for women, and I think that there are many people who are burdened both physically and mentally. Because it is difficult to be positive, and napkins and cotton are consumables, I deeply sympathized with ORGABITS' efforts to contribute to society and to create products that consider the global environment little by little. Also, this time, the cotton puff uses an original design produced by DEAR ME. The color and design make you feel warm, so I would be happy if the warmth was conveyed to the person who picked it up. The support we receive from this project will be used for the opening costs of "coxco Lab," which aims to create educational and employment opportunities through fashion in the Philippines, where poverty is aggravated by the impact of the new virus. increase. We hope that through projects such as this, in which companies, NPOs, and consumers join hands across barriers, it will lead to the creation of a better future, little by little.
