"Napkin Q" Key Visual

The "JK Clinic" project, which supports appropriate gynecological visits for adolescent women, has been promoted since August 30, 2024, by the YouTube creator unit "Crazy Magnet," who serve as "Female Body Promotion Ambassadors" for women's healthcare awareness activities. In collaboration with medical institutions and doctors nationwide, the project has been working to connect women after puberty with gynecological medical care.

We are pleased to announce the launch of "Napkin Q," a new initiative that supports the creation of an environment where everyone can feel safe by deploying emergency sanitary products within facilities, and its deployment has begun.

"Napkin Q" can be introduced in small facilities without the need for construction or registration. It is an initiative that allows for easy support for women in various locations such as businesses, commercial facilities, salons, cram schools, schools, and medical institutions.

As a first step, deployment has begun at approximately 140 registered JK Clinic medical institutions and "Female Body Promotion Schools" (junior high schools, high schools, vocational schools, universities). Moving forward, we will proceed with deployment to various facilities nationwide in collaboration with all types of businesses, organizations, facilities, and individuals.

【About "Napkin Q"】

"Napkin Q" is a service that installs sanitary napkins in facility restrooms, etc., to support women's "peace of mind during emergencies" and connect that opportunity to gynecological healthcare support.

A woman's menstrual cycle is not always predictable. It often fluctuates due to minor factors, and any woman has likely experienced sudden menstruation. Adolescent women, in particular, have not yet reached a stable menstrual phase, and it can be difficult for them to easily purchase sanitary products at convenience stores or drugstores.

Therefore, "Napkin Q" aims to create a safe space and social environment, especially for young people, by providing an environment where sanitary products can be obtained free of charge during sudden menstruation or when they do not have them on hand.

"Napkin Q" is intended solely for emergency support, to prevent unnecessary removal of sanitary products and waste of resources. The BOX also includes "JK Clinic" leaflets, gynecological visit cards, and gynecological healthcare awareness materials from various organizations we partner with, serving as a pathway to appropriate medical consultation behavior and women's healthcare awareness activities.

By expanding gynecological healthcare into society, taking advantage of moments when women are in need, and promoting gynecological healthcare through initiatives that support such women, we believe we can more strongly promote the appropriate gynecological visits that "JK Clinic" aims for.

We, the JK Clinic Secretariat, will use the provision of sanitary products as "visible support" to raise awareness of one's own body and health, and to connect women to appropriate gynecological visits when necessary.

Background of "Napkin Q"

In the daily experience of menstruation for many women, anxieties such as "sudden period caught me off guard" and "can't find sanitary napkins outside" still exist. Adolescent women, in particular, often struggle with sudden periods because their menstrual cycles are not yet stable, and the barrier to purchasing sanitary products is higher compared to adults.

A survey independently conducted by the JK Clinic Secretariat at a co-ed junior and senior high school in the Kansai region showed that approximately 78% of students cited "installation of sanitary products in restrooms, etc." as what they wanted schools to address regarding menstruation in school life. "Sudden periods" is one of those "common problems" for women that men are surprisingly unaware of.

Meanwhile, free distribution of sanitary products in public facilities is gradually expanding. However, even if businesses, operators, facilities, and schools understand the necessity of such support for women, they often find it difficult to permanently install sanitary products due to "installation work," "operational burden," "costs," and "management effort."

To solve these issues and achieve more natural support for women, "Napkin Q" was developed.
