Chinese billionaire heir Huang Zitao has live-streamed the sale of his own sanitary pad brand in a bid to rebuild trust after recent product safety scandals rocked the country. Advertisement The 32-year-old pop star and actor from Shandong province in eastern China trained in South Korea and inherited an estimated US$3 billion after his father, one of China's richest men, passed away in 2020. Known for his outspoken personality and love for his wife, singer Xu Yiyang, Huang has gained more than 66 million followers on mainland social media. In March, several Chinese sanitary pad factories were exposed for repackaging and reselling used pads and baby nappies at inflated prices.

Tao also disclosed the factory arrangement of his product, saying that the factory currently has three fully automatic production lines, which can produce 1,200 sanitary napkins per minute.

He also thanked his own wife Xu Yiyang during the launch, saying that the singer has personally tested the product many times and even made suggestions for research and development.
