Butonese people have posuo tradition, a ritual or ceremony that marks a transition of girls who have entered puberty. In this tradition, young women are locked up for eight days. This study discusses the importance of personal hygiene of Buton tribal girls in supporting the posuo tradition in Baubau, Buton Island. This study is a qualitative study with rapid ethnographic approach. We used purposive sampling with a total of 14 informants. To help young women relate to personal hygiene in implementing the posuo tradition, the data were analyzed by thematic techniques and the validity of the data by triangulation approach. The results of this study are the posuo tradition, which is a ceremony held as a means to mark the transition period of adolescent girls to adulthood, and to prepare them mentally. Posuo is conducted eight days in a special room called suo. During their confinement in suo, the girls were kept away from the outside world, both from their families and the surrounding environment. These girls are only allowed to communicate with bhisa. This study which included seven adolescent girls showed how they acquiesce personal hygiene for the sake of traditional processions. The results of the study are expected to give the implication of the need for education from health workers about personal hygiene, with the specific targets of Buton tribal girls.

Background: Female-initiated prevention products could reduce HIV infection rates in contexts with pronounced gender inequality like South Africa, but uptake and adherence remain low when available. Insights into the behavior of target consumers are needed to effectively promote these products; however, perceptions of stigma may discourage honest reporting. Focus of the Article: To address this need, we examined differences among the consumer journeys of six segments of South African adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), who vary on sexual health beliefs, sexual experience, and self-enhancement, when buying hygiene products. Research Question: We hypothesized that segments would differ in what motivated their purchases and in engagement with different touchpoints, reflecting a need for targeted outreach strategies. Methods: 1,500 low-income, Black South African AGYW (14–25 years of age) were surveyed face-to-face in their homes about their consumer journeys when purchasing deodorant and sanitary products, with the aim of extending the insights obtained to HIV prevention. Results: We found notable similarities across segments but also several important differences underscoring the potential for tailored marketing of HIV prevention products. Among some of the segments, differences were found in prepurchase mindsets and touchpoints, retail and brand drivers, and postpurchase feelings. Recommendations for Research or Practice: These findings highlight the need for tailored outreach among AGYW and may inform the design of effective, personalized marketing strategies that enhance the appeal of HIV prevention products. Limitations: To circumvent potential stigma associated with HIV, survey questions were anchored on personal hygiene products. While this may encourage greater honesty, findings may not fully generalize to HIV prevention products.
