Backuppz hasn't added a story.
My name is Sarah and I formed the product design company: Another Great Idea Ltd in 2011 (currently dormant as developing prototypes) as I realised I have always invented and I have the conviction that my ideas are unique and could be popular and successful.
The product I am putting forth first is Backuppz. I don't have a problem admitting I experience builder's bum more often than I would like. I find it embarrassing and so I set about finding a solution. What I came up with is Backuppz.
Backuppz is essentially a modesty panel for the 3 B’s: your back, belly and bum (+ builder’s bum). It is not shapewear; it merely covers the parts you don’t want to be seen and/or that need protecting from chilly conditions.
Once I wore it for the first time I was really happy it covered my belly too, as many women can attest, after a certain age that's all we complain about! :)
Funnily enough, when I went to get samples made, the tailor is a builder on the side (!) and he said builder's don't care about their builder's bum (shock, horror) but what they do care about is their lower backs being cold. I had NO idea this was a problem and many others have since talked about wanting to warm that part of their body.
It's been a while in development mainly because I have not had the funds to move it forward like it needs. I need funds for:
- sourcing & buying material
- paying manufacturer to sew it up
- packaging costs
- PR & marketing (although, having builder's love a product that solves builder's bum is pretty great PR!!)
This is a garment that is helpful for not only the obvious like builder's and plumbers, but sports people like skiers and cyclists, mums and older women, pregnant ladies and people sitting down or bending over.
There are SO many people that can benefit from Backuppz! Having some funds to go forward and make it happen is something I will be ever so thankful and appreciative for. Anyone who donates and wishes to be informed of when it's available, please visit my website to enter your contact details and waist and hip measurements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The reason I am not depicting the product fully online is because it's still in development. Backuppz Ltd. (company number: 09801582).
Thank you in advance for your belief in Backuppz!
Remember, when you need cover, call for Backuppz!
