The Brand

In Asia, we live in a part of the world where the variety of cultures, habits and unspoken rules is just fascinating. Meanwhile we are all women who like to feel good and beautiful, even during our period. But why do we keep buying disposable underwear? Hygiene? Cost? Convenience?

What if during our period we could wear the same comfortable panties that we love without extra protection while saving money and the planet?

who I am

My name is Sabine. I am the mum of one boy, and I’ve been calling Hong Kong home since 2010. I have always worked in fashion between France and Asia since 20 years and I am passionate about innovation in the industry. This experience has convinced me that I have a role to play in how products are designed, produced, and sold. In turn, a little change of habits as consumers can make a huge difference.

culottee is born

My entrepreneurial journey started when I realized that most women in Asia were using pads or disposable briefs during their period. Pads and night briefs are made of majority of plastic and generate huge volumes of waste, and I had to do something about it.

After 3 months of trials and surveys on a community of 150 women in Hong Kong, I have been convinced that Culottee can be useful, beautiful and a game changer!

With my team, I have created a beautiful collection of washable period brief. The different designs are similar as our favorite day to day underwear with extra layers which can absorb the leakage and the blood. They are comfortable, highly absorbent, feminine, safe for your body AND at the same time can help you save money and reduce single use plastic.

Most of women have different habits during their period between the day and night. Culottee products are designed to match with different needs, basic and high absorbency during the night, more feminine with different absorbency during the day.

A brief is like a fashion pant, skirt or dress, women want to feel beautiful, feminine, comfortable and protected. Culottee is THE ONE!! Try it, love it!
