Sanitary pads in the washroom

On the one hand, India is progressing in terms of its industrial and technological potential, but a substantial portion of the population still views something as natural as menstruation as taboo.

To break the preconceived notion, the cafe has kept sanitary pads in their unisex washroom, apart from tissue papers and fancy soaps. It would not only be of practical assistance to the patrons, but it would also, in a sense, break the stereotype of discomfort. Besides, we've also kept Pee Safe toilet seat sanitizer spray, keeping women’s hygiene in mind in unisex washrooms.

“Coffee is not just bitter” - that’s what Potboiler Coffee House believes in.
