Mzansi wants Siv to make sure pads are safe to use

Although people laude Siv Ngesi's initiative, others are urging him to ensure they are safe for women.

@AvainAfrica cautioned:

"Please keep in mind that chemicals from especially scented pads can cause infections and are pretty toxic to sensitive areas."

@phodladla lauded:

"Awesome! I hope blood is also used to test these at some point. And for that 30% gang, no, not actual period blood."

@caramel_sin asked:

"But what's the point of testing if you aren't using blood? Not blaming you for for anything, this is just an industry problem that makes zero sense."

@FortunateKgomo asked:

"Why do you want to own a sanitary pads company as a man? How will you know what pad wearers want in a pad when you don't use it? Or it's just for making money because there will never be any need for pads. Anyway? I suggest you also do sanitary underwear. Are there scarce or expensive advancements in sustainability / eco-friendly production and product?"

@Olofence said:

"As soon you get them I will be ready to market them Akere."

@angel1lilly added:

"This is awesome Siv. Congratulations brother. Wishing you all the success going forward. Thank you for helping so many women. I love this."

@Sighchaotix shared:

"This is great, thanks. Please create a product that actually sticks to the underwear without bunching and moving out of place."
