The menstrual cycle is a natural and important part of every woman’s life, but it often comes with discomfort, uncertainty, and disruption. From physical unease to worries about leaks, each woman’s experience is unique. For pre-teens, navigating their periods can be especially challenging as their bodies are still developing, and their skin is more delicate and sensitive. This is where a mother’s guidance becomes essential, helping her daughter feel secure, supported, and confident. Choosing the right pad, one that offers both gentle care and reliable protection, can make all the difference. That’s exactly where Modess comes in.

Modess is redefining what menstrual care should feel like combining the strength of reliable leak protection with the softness of skin-loving, hypoallergenic care. Modess features a thoughtfully designed hypoallergenic cottony soft cover that is gentle on skin, providing a comfortable, dry, and fresh feelingduring one of the most sensitive times of the month.

More than just a pad, Modess is a quiet yet powerful ally that helps women move confidently through their day, whether it’s conquering meetings, exploring creative passions, or simply finding rest at night. It provides peace of mind, knowing that the product is hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin, for up to zero skin irritation, allowing women to focus on what matters most, worry-free and without compromise.

To celebrate this commitment to women's comfort and confidence, Modess recently hosted the Modess Comfortverse,a one-of-a-kind lifestyle and wellness event designed to be a safe, empowering space where comfort takes center stage andsparks open conversations around topics we don’t discussnearly enough – menstrual and vaginal health. The immersive afternoon brought together medical experts, advocates, and real women for real conversation, helpful tips, and hands-on experiences with the Modess product range.

“Menstruation is a natural and powerful part of a woman’s life, and how we experience it directly impacts our well-being,” shared Isabel Lacson-Ruiz, Franchise Lead for Feminine Care and Skin Health, Kenvue Philippines. “Through this campaign, we’re advocating for menstrual care that doesn’t just protect. Our hypoallergenic top sheet is also a promise of comfort, especially where women need it most.”

Lifestyle personality and body positivity advocate Ayn Bernos echoed this sentiment, sharing how her own skin sensitivityinfluenced her feminine care choices. “As someone with sensitive skin, I’ve always been careful about the products I use, from skincare to fabric choices. However, I realized I wasn’t giving the same attention to the products I use during my period. I used to think that irritation and discomfort were just part of the experience,” she revealed.

“Confidence really starts with feeling good in your own skin and that includes your most intimate moments,” Ayn added. “I love that Modess prioritizes hypoallergenic care with its top sheet. It made a huge difference during my period. I feel supported, not distracted. That’s the kind of care we deserve.”

Medical experts at the Modess Comfortverse event further emphasized the importance of choosing the right products.

“The intimate area is very sensitive especially during menstruation. It is best to use breathable pads that are made up of hypoallergenic materials to keep the intimate area cool and dry.” explained Dr. Kristine Tangco, OB-GYN. “This minimizes irritation of the skin and keeps the vaginal microbiome intact preventing infections. Daily intimate hygiene and using the right pad plays a major role in safeguarding its well-being.”

Dr. Ayees Mendoza, a board-certified dermatologist, added, “Many women are meticulous about the products they use on their face, but often forget the same level of care is just as important for menstrual hygiene. The skin around the vulva is thinner and more sensitive than facial skin, making it more prone to irritation. That’s why choosing hypoallergenic products is not just wise– it’s essential for comfort and protection.”

From its innovative product design to its advocacy for open, informed conversations around menstruation, Modess is championing a new standard for menstrual care, one rooted in science, empathy, and empowerment.

With Modess, women are no longer forced to choose between comfort and protection. They can now experience both in a product that’s gentle where it matters and powerful when it counts.
