What Chongqing Baiya Sanitary Products does

Chongqing Baiya Sanitary Products Co., Ltd. is a publicly listed Chinese consumer goods company (Shenzhen Stock Exchange ticker 003006), founded in 2002 and headquartered in Banan District, Chongqing, where it operates its integrated production facility in the Baiya International Industrial Park. The company designs, manufactures, and sells feminine hygiene products — primarily sanitary napkins — under its core brand 'Freedom Point' (自由点) and secondary brand 'Howdge' (好之). It is positioned as the first A-share listed sanitary napkin company in China, and has pivoted from commodity absorbent products toward a health-science-led premium category anchored by its 益LA88 probiotic series.

The company's core technology is a proprietary inactivated probiotic formula combining Lactobacillus acidophilus LA88 (sourced from vaginal samples of healthy women in Dali, Yunnan) and Lactobacillus plantarum N13 (sourced from traditional fermented products in Inner Mongolia), supplemented with prebiotics. This LA88+N13+prebiotics patent is processed via gradient thermal inactivation and targeted encapsulation, designed to regulate vaginal microecology during menstruation. The 4th generation product (2026) raises bacterial powder dosage to 9.8 billion per sheet. Supporting technical credibility is an 88-checkpoint quality control process and clinical validation through randomized double-blind trials with Class III Grade A hospitals (0% adverse reaction rate reported) and 220-person / 750-sample data accumulated since 2023. Baiya has also led the establishment of three group standards for vaginal microecology testing in sanitary products.

The company monetizes through one-time retail purchases of sanitary products, distributed primarily through owned Tmall and JD e-commerce storefronts, national physical retail, and a dedicated e-commerce warehouse-distribution integration (仓配一体) service. Customer segments are individual female consumers across adolescence through perimenopause, with marketing delivered via Xiaohongshu, celebrity endorsement (Zhao Lusi), CSR-driven brand-building (campus menstrual health lectures, charitable donations, high-speed rail free trial), and industry forums. No enterprise or B2B customer concentration exists; revenue is structurally diversified across mass-market consumer channels.
