What Plush does

Plush, legally Urban Essentials India Pvt Ltd, is a Chennai-headquartered direct-to-consumer women’s wellness brand founded in 2018 that sells feminine care, hair removal, intimate wellness, and skincare products through its own e-commerce storefront plushforher.com. Its portfolio spans ultra-thin cotton sanitary pads, period panties with antibacterial top sheets, 410mm maternity pads with Twin Core Absorption technology, menstrual cups, panty liners, cramp relief patches, body and bikini razors, intimate washes, lubricants, condoms, feminine wipes, and complementary SKUs like biodegradable disposal pouches and travel kits. The brand’s core technical differentiators are a 100% U.S. Cotton supply chain, a category-first 100% rash-free guarantee with money-back refund, and proprietary absorption layer designs (Twin Core, Leak Lock Rapid Dry, Quad Lock).

The company operates a horizontally segmented customer model aimed at Indian women across life stages — general period care, postpartum recovery, travel, and personal grooming — with pricing in INR ranging from Rs 59 panty liners to Rs 1,389 premium travel kits and a subscription tier with exclusive savings and pause/cancel control. Distribution is omnichannel D2C: the owned website, subscription/recurring orders, quick commerce partnerships (per company commentary, a significant online channel for Indian D2C), and a B2B partnership with Zostel hostels for menstrual care kits. Marketing leans on a content library (Women’s Health, Sexual Wellness, Hey Men!, Pop Culture), celebrity ambassadors including Soha Ali Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Gul Panag, and Mini Mathur, and earned media across Vogue India, Times of India, YourStory, and Business Standard. Growth capital of Rs 40 crore was raised in June 2025 led by Rahul Garg with Blume Founders Fund and OTP Ventures, earmarked for retail expansion and brand investment, alongside stated plans to enter Tier I/II cities and the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
