Carefree Empowers Women to Embrace Control and Confidence in Their Intimate Care

If there is one lesson that Filipinos took away from the extended lockdown, it is the importance of maintaining our general health. During the peak of the pandemic, many of us experienced sudden changes in our routines. It was also during this time that we realized the importance of prioritizing physical health and self-care. For Filipinas, one form of self-care that has become more popular and important is intimate care or taking good care of their vaginal health.

 

With the increase in mobility and return of social activities, how can Filipinas take proper intimate care and practice good vaginal health – dealing with daily discharge, wetness, and odor management – while they are out and about?

According to Dr. Mary Ann Ceferina Gonzaga, an OBGYN practitioner, vaginal health can be managed by taking care of your overall health. This means eating healthy, having regular exercise, ensuring that you are well hydrated, sleeping well, and avoiding stressful activities. “Vaginal health is an important part of a woman’s overall health. It is important to maintain a healthy vulva and vagina to help prevent infections, discomfort, and to prevent the stress that comes with relationship problems and one's self-confidence. If your vagina and intimate areas are healthy, you are more comfortable and confident which can equate to a better quality of life for women, their partners, and their families.” She also added how women can properly take care of their vaginal health, “Proper hygiene by keeping the intimate area clean, fresh, and dry is key in taking care of your vagina. We recommend using water and a natural mild soap or wash for cleaning, and using a natural, thin, light, comfortable, cotton, hypoallergenic pantyliners to keep women dry the whole day.”

 

Carefree, the number one pantyliner brand in the Philippines, believes that it is high time for women to start taking charge of their vaginal health now as they go out more. Through an online campaign called the #CarefreePantyLove Movement, Carefree aims to spark conversations in helping women keep their intimate area fresh all day, one clean panty at a time with Carefree pantyliners.  

Carefree also tapped a new brand ambassador, Rei Germar, who embodies what it means to be Carefree fresh and clean. Rei shares how she practices #CarefreePantyLove by demonstrating to her followers how to keep her panties clean and fresh from wetness and odor by using Carefree pantyliners. 

 

“I am a big believer of self-care and one of the ways I take care of myself is by making sure that even my most intimate areas are properly taken cared of. Now that I am going out more because of work and personal activities, I don’t want that icky feeling of vaginal discharge and having to worry about odor get in my way. With Carefree, I get to show #CarefreePantyLove by keeping my panties fresh and clean!” Rei Germar, content creator and Carefree ambassador. 

 

“Now that women are starting to go out more, Carefree wants to empower every woman to take charge of their intimate care. With Carefree Breathable pantyliner, we want women to keep their panties feeling fresh all day, so they do not have to worry about wetness and odor when they do their daily activities,” Jason Khu, senior brand manager for Carefree.

 

Carefree has a wide portfolio of pantyliners that is customized for every woman’s need. 

Carefree Breathable provides better air circulation to maintain that fresh panty feel all day. It is 3x more breathable (vs Carefree Super Dry) allowing air to circulate so your skin can breathe. It is cotton soft that provides superior comfort on skin. 

 

Carefree Super Dry keeps you feeling fresh and dry from heavy daily discharge. It has moisture proof backing technology to prevent leakage and keep you dry and odor-free all day. Carefree Super Dry is designed with body shape contour for a close and comfortable fit. It is also made with cottony soft cover for maximum freshness. To add, Carefree Super Dry contains natural plant extract to help neutralize any odor causing bacteria.

Sun Life ASCP breaks new ground into the virtual world with campus hiring in Metaverse

As an organization that aims to drive digital transformation and technology advancements in the country, Sun Life Asia Service Center Philippines (ASCP) taps into the power of Metaverse for its talent acquisition and recruitment activities as it rolls out its campus hiring among technology university students across the region. 

The campus hiring in Metaverse is in line with the company’s overall recruitment efforts with the goal to equip university students in their career journey right from their graduation, to the internship and formal employment. Furthermore, Sun Life ASCP envisions to achieve a more streamlined and efficient hiring operation, identifying the right talents for each available role, ultimately providing a positive candidate experience throughout the hiring process. 

 

The Metaverse will mirror the actual facilities of the Sun Life ASCP office through 3D technology – allowing candidates to create their own fun avatars and easily roam around, engage and interact with Sun Life ASCP’s HR recruiters and hiring managers – just like how it was in real life. Apart from the launching of Metaverse, Sun Life ASCP will also roll out its very own Sinag Chatbot, which will be the candidate’s companion – guiding them in their queries, concerns, and other application requirements when they engage with it in ASCP’s Facebook page. The utilization of this automated tool will enable faster turn-around time in processing applications while saving resources and expenses for both the candidate and the company. 

With the launch of these new digital innovations, Sun Life ASCP is eyeing to target a total of 300 potential candidates – contributing a total of 10-20% of new hires for the company. Through this, it expects to generate a minimum of P100,000 savings per hire. 

 

“Sun Life ASCP has been constantly innovating and leveraging new technologies to enhance its operations, improve customer experiences and overall deliver best-in-class services,” shared Chandan Barve, VP and Chief Administrative Officer, Sun Life ASC. The launch of campus hiring in Metaverse and Sinag Chatbot at ASCP are in line with our digital first approach and will help improve the company’s overall recruitment effort as we establish a more efficient and effective hiring process. As a result, candidates can enjoy a positive and seamless experience all throughout the hiring journey.”

 

Some of the past innovations implemented by Sun Life ASCP were the gamification of its performance management where it leveraged on game-like elements such as scoring, rewards, and competitions to create a more engaging workplace experience, and hosting of virtual job fairs and webinars for job seekers to easily apply and follow-up their applications in the comforts of their home. Since then, the company has achieved scale, growth, and operational maturity by providing Business Processing, IT, investment research and enterprise infrastructure to Sun Life’s global businesses. Moreover, it continues to enhance its business model by building a digital culture and mindset – all enabled by the latest technologies, data-driven insights, skill sets, talent, and agile and innovative frameworks.

 

What makes the Metaverse campus hiring a critical digital intervention?

In this age of rapid digitalization, companies are leveraging more on technologies and tools to effectively engage with their audiences. According to Gartner, a leading technology research and consulting firm, digitalization is defined as the use of digital technologies to transform and enhance business models – creating new opportunities for revenue and value creation. By embracing digitalization, companies can stay ahead of the curve and remain competitive in an ever-evolving marketplace.

 

With over 85 million Filipino internet users in the country, it is no surprise that brands heavily invest on digital tools and platforms to continuously pivot, innovate and overall improve the efficiency of its operations. Based on the Digital Report 2023 by We Are Social and Meltwater, the Philippines is the third country in the world with the most time spent online citing that 74.4% of the population search on how to do things while 66.9% invest their time for education and study-related purposes. When it comes to social media, Filipinos spend an average of 4 hours each day on social media platforms with Gen Zs comprising the most significant demographic. This is attributed to the pandemic when people mostly stayed at home prompting them to go online and rely on digital channels to connect, study, work, and consume content. 

 

Despite its infancy, one of the emerging digital platforms that has been garnering attention is Metaverse – a virtual world where people can build, own, and interact through an immersive and engaging experience utilizing virtual and augmented reality. It allows users to experience both the digital and real-world in the same space which involves a blend of visuals, technology and sound – delivering an extraordinary and engaging online environment. Globally, various companies have already adopted this Web3 technology similar to how they adopted social media – from exchanging goods and services to education and leisure. With its vast opportunity to revolutionize the way businesses operate and engage with stakeholders, the Metaverse presents exciting opportunities to build brand awareness, foster customer loyalty and expand reach – most especially among social-savvy Gen Zs who love to discover new things and immerse in new experiences.
