Getting Started

Applicants may be required to provide business registration documents, operating information, warehouse details, distribution coverage, and other information required by Carpa Healthcare during the onboarding process.
Businesses interested in becoming authorized distributors should apply directly to Padluxe or Carpa Healthcare.
Applications are reviewed based on factors such as location, distribution capacity, existing customer network, storage capability, market coverage, commercial experience, and ability to support the growth of the Padluxe brand.
Yes. Depending on the commercial arrangement, an authorized distributor may be responsible for developing a defined market and supplying wholesalers, pharmacies, supermarkets, mini-marts, and other retailers.
Wholesalers typically purchase products in bulk for resale to smaller retailers within their trading network.
Specific responsibilities are determined by the commercial agreement with Carpa Healthcare.

Choose a pad length and absorbency appropriate for your menstrual flow and expected sleeping period.
The pad should be positioned securely before sleeping and changed when necessary.
For people with particularly heavy menstrual bleeding, additional protection or medical advice may sometimes be appropriate.
Ordering and Stock
Minimum order quantities depend on the distributor category, product combination, location, and applicable commercial terms.
Approved distributors will receive information on carton quantities, minimum purchase requirements, and available order configurations during onboarding.
Yes, subject to stock availability and applicable ordering requirements.
Distributors are generally encouraged to maintain a suitable mix of Padluxe Lite, Midi, and Maxi products so retailers can offer customers different pad lengths and coverage options.
Initial stock requirements should reflect your retailer network, territory size, storage capacity, expected sales volume, and restocking lead time.
It is generally better to establish a realistic opening inventory and increase subsequent orders based on actual market movement.
Distributors may reorder according to their stock requirements and applicable supply arrangements.
Good inventory planning is encouraged so that orders are placed before warehouse stock reaches levels that could cause retailer shortages.
Track sales by product variant, retailer, location, and month.
This information can be used to establish average monthly sales and determine appropriate minimum stock and reorder levels.
Distributors should also consider seasonal promotions, new retailer onboarding, and planned market activations.
Distributors should adjust subsequent purchase quantities based on observed demand.
Maintaining sales records by variant helps reduce both stockouts and excessive inventory.
Products should be stored in a clean, dry, secure, and properly maintained warehouse.
Stock should be protected from moisture, direct sunlight, excessive heat, chemicals, pests, contamination, and physical damage.
Cartons should be appropriately stacked and kept away from wet floors or areas where water damage may occur.
Phthalates are a family of chemicals, some of which have historically been used to make plastics more flexible.
Certain phthalates—including DEHP, DBP, BBP and DIBP—have been restricted in several jurisdictions because of reproductive or endocrine-related concerns.
Padluxe supports minimizing unnecessary exposure to restricted phthalates in menstrual-care materials.
A sanitary pad can remain in close contact with the vulva for several hours. The area is also naturally warm and may be exposed to menstrual fluid, moisture and friction.
We therefore believe that ingredients that provide no meaningful absorbency, leakage-control or comfort benefit should be minimized where practical.
This does not mean that every chemical or synthetic material is harmful. Our approach is simply to use materials for a clear functional purpose.
Pricing and Profitability
Distributor and wholesale pricing depends on the applicable commercial arrangement, purchase quantity, product variant, logistics structure, and other agreed terms.
Approved distributors receive the applicable pricing structure directly from Carpa Healthcare.
Margins depend on purchase volume, territory operating costs, logistics expenses, retailer pricing, and the distributor's commercial arrangement with Carpa Healthcare.

Yes, padluxe has a recommended retail price. These prices are communicated to distributors during onboarding to support reasonable price consistency across the market.
Distributors should communicate applicable recommended pricing to retailers while taking legitimate regional market and logistics differences into account.
Wholesale pricing should remain consistent with the commercial terms agreed with Carpa Healthcare and any applicable channel pricing guidance.
The objective is to maintain a sustainable margin for distributors, wholesalers, and retailers while avoiding unnecessary price distortion within the market.
Volume-based incentives may be used where commercially appropriate and consistent with the distributor agreement and applicable pricing guidance.
Distributors should structure discounts carefully so that they support higher sales without creating unsustainable market pricing.
