Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Bloom Sanitary Pads founder and Botscrest managing director Mr Gogontle Basiami says creating a unique business idea was his dream since childhood.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking during Business Botswana Northern Trade Fair in Francistown on Tuesday, he said the plant, set up through financial assistance from CEDA, has the capacity to produce 250 pieces per minute on an eight-hour shift-making 12 000 sanitary pads packs per day at full peak.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe order material from China because prices are high in our neighbouring countries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Basiami said Bloom Sanitary Pads, which come in packets of 10, were found in selected Knock-Out, Foodlovers, Saverite stores and over 70 general dealers countrywide.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur products are very affordable and competitive when compared to other existing brands and the aim is to make sanitary pads affordable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the company had a staff compliment of nine full time officers, three on part time and three temporary employees.<\/p>\n

Giving a testimony of the product, Ms Edith Lesole said she found coziness in using the Bloom Sanitary Pads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pads do not leak and have wings for extra protection,\u201d she said, adding that they also come in two types for regular and heavy flow.<\/p>\n
