003 Farah Kabir: From finance to female sexual wellness

‘We’re not glossing over the reality of being a woman, we want to be real and relatable’Farah Kabir was in a secure job in finance when she and her co-founder noticed a problem with the condom market; it was all targeted towards men. After thorough market research and a somewhat awkward announcement over family dinner, HANX was founded; providing sexual health products from condoms and lube through to treatments for thrush and more, HANX offers women a beautifully packaged alternative to the many garish, male-pitched products that fill the market. Farah discusses her journey with HANX to date, including:·       Moving from a secure job in finance to launching a successful business in sexual wellness.·       The importance of being data and customer driven when designing products. ·       Navigating the world of investment for small businesses, and the necessary move towards a supportive, reciprocal environment where women help women. ·       The need for sexual education that includes consent, relationship, female anatomy and female pleasure, as championed by charity partners Sexpression and Sexpectation.https://www.hanxofficial.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/knicker-box-glory/id1485760339https://sexpression.org.uk/ https://schoolofsexed.org/ Find out more about REALWORK on Instagram @doreal.work or visit www.doreal.work The REALWORK Podcast with Fleur Emery is produced by Buckers from @decibelle_creative www.decibellecreative.comOur thanks go to Tom Seals for his wonderful piano playing at the end of this episode – find him here: @tomseals and www.tomseals.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
