| Willow is stylish affordable disposable underwear that offers comfort, confidence, and leak-free protection, delivered discreetly to your door at a fraction of the price. Current options on the market are either expensive or bulky and generally lacking in style — plus, you have to purchase them at the store. Willow’s product is the thinnest andmost absorbent on the market, and has better odor control than other products. It’s extremely "breathable” and wicks liquid away from skin, just like sportswear. Best of all, Willow’s stylish products cost less than others because they are sold directly to the consumer, with no mark up by stores. | $2.5M / Seed / Jul 31, 2018 | ||
