SHOKUBUTSU CALLS MALAYSIAN WOMEN TO SELF-CHECK DURING SHOWER FOR EARLY BREAST CANCER DETECTION WITH PLEDGE-TO-SELF-CHECK DURING SHOWER

¥ Shower time is the most convenient and easiest time to do breast self-check

¥ Shokubutsu encourages all women to do self-check during shower for the sake of their loved ones via the Pledge-To-Self-Check During Shower campaign

¥ National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) is the partner for this Pledge-To-Self-Check During Shower

¥ Early detection of breast cancer enhances survival rate 

Do you know that shower time can be life-saving? A simple breast self-check in the shower can help women detect breast cancer early and indeed the most convenient and easiest time to do a breast self-check. 

To encourage women committing this regular breast self-checks during shower time, Shokubutsu, the leading shower foam brand in Malaysia, has spearheaded a pro-active campaign, Pledge-To-Self-Check During Shower. Supported by campaign partner National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM).

Since we shower everyday, Shokubutsu realised that shower time would be an ideal timing for us. Pledge-To-Self-Check During Shower is a campaign at educating women that they are doing their breast self-check cares not just for their own good but they are doing it because they care for their loved ones too!

The Shokubutsu Pledge-To-Self-Check During Shower campaign will run from 1 October until 30 November 2015. Our target is to get 250,000 women to pledge to do their breast self-check during shower every month. Every bottle sold during the campaign period translates into 1 pledge where Shokubutsu will contribute RM0.10 to NCSM. Shokubutsu aims to raise RM25,000 through the 250,000 pledges. To support this campaign, Shokubutsu will organise nationwide roadshows, in-store promotions and social media activation in educating women the step-by-step guide to do breast self-check during shower. 

Shokubutsu has also designed a special application on Shokubutsu Malaysia Facebook for women to upload and share their pledges with their friends and receive a Free 3D Mammogram with consultation voucher when they buy a Thin Prep (Pap Smear) at NCSM Cancer and Health Screening Clinic. Shokubutsu wants women to also realise that breast self-check during shower is only one of the more helpful self-initiative step enable early detection and women especially aged 40 and above are encouraged to perform Mammogram scanning every 1-2 years as their risk of getting breast cancer is higher.
