Comfort begins with care.
Menopause-Friendly Apparel Co-Creation Initiative
For apparel brands & manufacturers
Limited, phased material support for selected projects.
Care should become action.
At Annie's Smartex, we believe the value of materials science lies in what it brings to people's everyday lives.
We want to contribute what we know and what we make, to help women feel more comfortable through menopause, a stage of life that deserves understanding and thoughtful care.
Today, we're taking a small, practical step: launching our Menopause-Friendly Apparel Co-Creation Initiative. We will offer selected brands and garment makers limited development-fabric support, exploring IcSnow® 8C PRO and Skinkey® PCM for everyday clothing and sleepwear.
