Problem
Many hospitals provide standard postpartum and menstrual supplies that are bulky, require insertion, and often fail to meet comfort or absorbency needs, leaving patients with limited non‑insertive options and reduced satisfaction during recovery and periods.
Solution
Patra delivers the DAP, a disposable, all‑in‑one menstrual and postpartum product that merges absorbent underwear, a built‑in maxi pad, and integrated heating/cooling elements into a single garment. The design eliminates the need for separate pads or inserts, offering leak‑free protection and temperature‑controlled comfort throughout the menstrual cycle and postpartum recovery. By partnering directly with hospitals and healthcare providers, Patra supplies a ready‑to‑use solution that can be stocked in maternity wards, improving patient experience and giving users greater agency over their bodies. The product’s disposable nature ensures hygiene and simplifies logistics for clinical settings, while the non‑insertive format addresses the preferences of users seeking less invasive care options.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals, maternity wards, and other healthcare providers that serve postpartum patients and menstruating individuals seeking non‑insertive, disposable care solutions.
