My story
Hello and namaste!
I'm Z and I started Wow Wee Waterproof Sheets in 2016 as a tiny side gig whilst toilet training my toddler girl, to sell what was useful to me, to my friends and their friends. I'm a ChOzzie Mum to 2 kids. I've sadly left HK, but thankfully my friend in Lamma helps me continue this "passion business" . She's also an Aussie HK Mum and has a website selling yummy Aussie soup broths and other healthy yummies : https://detox-me.asia/shop/
SHORT VERSION :
I set this up to help sleep deprived parents get a better night's sleep while toilet training kids : if your preschooler is dry most nights but has the occasional accident, you're at the right place.
If you're the parent of a late bed wetter or a special needs child or a child with reflux; or if you yourself experience heavy menstrual periods or post partum/operation bleeding, or if you're a Pawparent, you're all very welcome here!
Please choose wisely by checking out our reviews here and on Facebook. Buy a quality product that lasts and is multi-functional. Share your belongings. We consumers have the power to choose a greener future by consuming wisely. If the Wow Wee Waterproof Sheet is not for you, that's cool. If you like it, please help me spread the word and give me a review!
LONG VERSION :
I HATE a hard sell and I never intended on setting up a business. I initially started a Facebook page to show friends my stock. I had no website, no marketing plan and the business "Wow Wee Waterproof Sheets" was named by my friend's 9 year old son, Jonah! Back then, payment was by cash/barter for other useful stuff. Delivery was done by me or by pick up. Marketing was Mum-to-Mum. It was a great way to meet new friends, but it was cumbersome and I thank my earlier customers for supporting me this way!
I held my first pop up in Nov 2017 and the response was so positive ("OMG, WHY don't you SELL ONLINE!?!?") that I was determined to have a website by the following Christmas. The reason it took so long to get off the ground is because I was PARALYSED with indecision whilst aiming for perfection, BUT I've finally learned (thanks to mindfulness/meditation) to LET IT GO and embrace imperfection. So, if you see an error in the website, please help me out and let me know!
My vision is to expand this into a community forum where we can share ideas on : toilet training, late bed wetting, sleep, minfulness/meditation, eco-friendly living, a place to have a good whinge, and a place where we can pay forward our blessings!
I volunteer with two Buddhist communities whose aims are to share practical techniques to help us recognise the natural goodness and capabilities within us, and to use our capabilities to better the world. I'm a lover of the planet and care deeply about the 5Rs (Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repupose, Recycle). I also love dip pen calligraphy and I built my energy and water efficient home in Australia during lockdown!!
If ANY of these resonate with you, let's connect! I'd love to hear from you.
