Chinese Medicine: Starting with Daily Intelligence
Chapter 475: Excellent Effect
They were going to mass-produce sanitary napkins?
Faced with Yang Qing and Lin Xiaoyu’s question,
Li Xu replied, "Yes, but we’re starting with a trial run to test their effectiveness. We’ll only move to mass production if the results are good."
"If you start producing them, we’ll definitely buy them. We’ve lost all faith in other brands of sanitary napkins now."
Yang Qing declared immediately.
Lin Xiaoyu chimed in, "Exactly. Instead of using those shady products, we’d rather use sanitary napkins made from the hemostatic cloth. At least we know they’re safe and reliable."
Seeing the trust in their eyes, Li Xu felt a surge of confidence.
After more than a year of laying the groundwork,
Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory now had an excellent reputation.
Although producing sanitary napkins was a leap into a new field, there would definitely be buyers.
Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Ding Kaifang immediately got to work.
The production line for the hemostatic cloth was already in place. He contacted an equipment supplier, purchased a professional sanitary napkin production machine that very afternoon, and had it installed and calibrated overnight.
The next morning, the first batch of sanitary napkins made from the hemostatic cloth was fresh off the line.
Ding Kaifang went to the production floor himself. Watching the clean, soft sanitary napkins come off the production line one by one, he was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
The Ding Group was involved in real estate, tourism development, hotels and restaurants, and the pharmaceutical factory.
In total, it had over three thousand employees.
Nearly half of them were female, so there was no need to find outside testers. Ding Kaifang launched a trial program directly within the company.
When the female employees heard that these were sanitary napkins made from the company’s own hemostatic cloth, they showed great enthusiasm, and many signed up to participate in the trial.
Ding Kaifang also took some samples home.
That evening, when he got home, his wife, Lin Yue, was sitting on the sofa scrolling through her phone.
They greeted each other, and Ding Kaifang asked casually, "Honey, what are you busy with?"
Lin Yue sighed and complained, "Don’t even ask. It’s about that recent sanitary napkin scandal. A few of the major brands I use were implicated, so I threw them all out in a fit of anger today. Now I’m trying to buy new ones, but I have no idea which brand is good. It’s so frustrating."
Hearing this, Ding Kaifang’s heart leaped with joy. ’Talk about perfect timing!’ he thought.
He handed the sanitary napkins he’d brought to Lin Yue. "Stop agonizing over it. Use these."
Lin Yue was a bit stunned. She looked doubtfully at the product in his hands. The packaging was clearly printed with "Produced by Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory."
"Since when does a pharmaceutical factory produce sanitary napkins?"
Ding Kaifang smiled and explained, "As of today. These are made from the hemostatic cloth developed by Doctor Li. He said they’re exceptionally effective. You just got your period, so why not give them a try?"
Lin Yue was quite surprised.
’Sanitary napkins made from hemostatic cloth?’
On second thought, it made sense.
"I can’t believe Doctor Li researches sanitary napkins in addition to medicinal formulas. He’s really something else."
Lin Yue marveled.
She was currently facing the dilemma of having no sanitary napkins to use, so these would be a perfect substitute.
After her shower, Lin Yue put on one of the sanitary napkins and lay in bed scrolling through her phone for a while.
She noticed that the sanitary napkin felt incredibly soft and conformed perfectly to her body. There was no foreign-body sensation at all; it was as if she wasn’t wearing anything. The faint, clean scent of medicinal herbs made her feel relaxed, and she soon drifted off to sleep.
When she woke up, the sky was just beginning to lighten with the dawn.
Lin Yue stretched, feeling remarkably light and refreshed. There wasn’t the slightest bit of cramping in her lower abdomen.
Previously, whenever she got her period, she would have a dull ache in her stomach for the first two days, sometimes even needing painkillers for relief.
This time, however, she felt no pain at all.
She got up and went to the bathroom to change the sanitary napkin.
Unexpectedly, she couldn’t smell any of the usual metallic odor of menstrual blood. There was only the faint, fresh scent of medicinal herbs.
Lin Yue couldn’t help but pick up the used sanitary napkin to inspect it closely. She found its absorbency to be excellent. The surface was remarkably dry, with none of the usual damp, sticky feeling.
"Oh my god, this is unbelievably effective."
Lin Yue couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.
Even the best big-brand sanitary napkins she had used before couldn’t completely eliminate odor, let alone alleviate menstrual cramps.
But this hemostatic cloth sanitary napkin managed to do both. It was truly a godsend for women.
After washing up, Lin Yue waited for Ding Kaifang to get up.
She couldn’t wait to tell him about her amazing discovery.
"Honey, the sanitary napkins you brought home are amazing!"
Lin Yue grabbed Ding Kaifang’s hand and said excitedly, "It was so comfortable to wear last night. I didn’t feel a thing. Most importantly, when I woke up this morning, there was no odor at all! And my stomach doesn’t hurt. That was unimaginable before."
Listening to Lin Yue’s vivid description, Ding Kaifang couldn’t suppress a smile.
Doctor Li was right; this sanitary napkin really did have extraordinary effects.
"Are they really that good?"
Ding Kaifang asked, feigning surprise, though inwardly he was bursting with joy.
"Of course it’s true! Would I lie to you?"
Lin Yue shot him a glare and emphasized, "Before, whenever I got my period, my stomach would hurt terribly for the first two days, and the smell was strong, too. It always put me in a bad mood. But this time, I feel completely refreshed and invigorated."
Ding Kaifang was completely reassured.
After breakfast, he rushed back to the factory.
Back at the company, Ding Kaifang immediately had someone compile the trial results from the female employees.
The Ding Group had over a thousand female employees in total. Yesterday, over two hundred of them were on their period, and all had received the sanitary napkins to try.
Seventy-two of them had submitted feedback.
Ding Kaifang gathered these employees in a conference room to ask them about their experience in detail.
As soon as the women entered the conference room, they eagerly vied to speak and share their feelings.
"President Ding, this sanitary napkin is simply divine!"
One employee said excitedly, "I wore it to sleep last night, and it was so comfortable. There was no stuffiness at all. I usually worry about side leaks at night, but last night I slept right through till morning, and there were no leaks whatsoever."
Another employee jumped in, "Yes, yes! My skin gets really sensitive during my period, and I always get itchy. But after using this sanitary napkin yesterday, I didn’t feel itchy at all. It’s so breathable."
"What surprised me the most was its absorbency. It’s incredible!" A third employee raised her hand and said, "I usually have a heavy flow and have to change it every two or three hours. But with this one yesterday, I felt like it lasted much longer, and the surface stayed dry the whole time."
"And the odor! There’s really no odor anymore."
One employee said excitedly, "I used to always worry about having a smell, and it made me feel so self-conscious. But with this sanitary napkin, I can’t smell anything at all."
An employee who suffered from severe cramps added, "I used to have to take painkillers for the first two days of my period every time. Yesterday, I used this, and I didn’t take any medicine at all. My stomach barely hurt. It’s a miracle."
