What they say about us

“KosmoPads have changed everything for me. I used to feel constant discomfort with disposable pads, but now I barely notice I am wearing pads. They are soft, safe, and the most comfortable pads I have ever used. They have transformed my cycle; that is why I recommend them to every woman.”

Kayitesi Age: 22, customer

“I highly recommend them to others because they are so comfortable; they don't cause any burning or discomfort, especially during hot weather. Another great thing is they are very easy to wash and come out perfectly clean without much effort.”

Angel Age: 27, customer

“I have already recommended KosmoPads to my friends because they are reusable and reduce plastic waste. They help our environment unlike disposable pads. I always tell my friends that by using these, we are doing something good for our country while taking care of ourselves.”

Jessica Age: 24, customer

“Kosmotive gave me an employment opportunity as a sales agent for KosmoPads, reusable pads. Now, I am able to pay school fees for my children. Moreover, it has helped to meet new like-minded people.”

Yankurije Age: 33, sales agent

“There are questions that children fear to ask us as teachers; however, during the menstrual hygiene management session, they asked all the questions openly.”

Providence Age: 32, Teacher

“After receiving KosmoPads, our school no longer spends much budget on disposable pads to provide to students at school. We now also buy underwear that girls can use if they get their periods at school.”

Jean Babtiste Age: 45, Head Teacher
