003 Farah Kabir: From finance to female sexual wellness REALWORK

‘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.
