This means, we not only create high-quality residential spaces designed for students, but also drive value by bringing an array of exciting brand propositions to their doorstep. Our aim is to plug even their smallest daily needs. The partnership with Sirona: PeeBuddy is targeted at a specific concern – ensuring that our female residents can have round-the-clock access to healthy and enabling products under one roof. We are excited to partner with a brand like Sirona: PeeBuddy, that has pioneered some of the leading feminine hygiene and wellness solutions, uniting in our efforts to provide relevant brand experience to our consumers.
Speaking about the Sirona Hygiene Pod, Deep Bajaj, Founder, PeeBuddy & Sirona Modern Menstrual Hygiene Products said “As a start-up, our life revolves around identifying and solving those Intimate & Menstrual issues for women which are not openly discussed. We started with Dirty Toilets with PeeBuddy & went on to introduce many category-first products under SIRONA which have been well appreciated by customers. ‘Sirona Hygiene Pods’ are a step towards disrupting the distribution hassles faced by women by bring products closer to them, with round the clock access. We loved the ideology of Stanza Living and the importance they give to many such needs for their residents and decided to launch the first ever pod with them.
Apart from addressing immediate sanitary requirements of young women, this is also an exercise in educating them about the wide variety of customized solutions for diverse hygiene and care needs.
