About Us

Hi, I’m Sheldene du Plessis, founder of Hudu Health — a proud mom of four, multitasker-in-chief, and someone who believes that just because parenting is messy, doesn’t mean it can’t be more comfortable. Let’s face it — raising kids is hard on the knees (and backs, and patience…). One evening, mid-bath, kneeling on a soggy towel, I thought: “There has to be a better way.” When I couldn’t find one, I made one. That’s how Kneepal was born — my answer to knee pain during bath time, gardening, scrubbing, and everything in between.Kneepal took off faster than my toddler running naked from the bath. It’s now in thousands of homes across 17+ countries, loved by parents, grandparents, and even the occasional plumber.Then came Babypal — because diaper changes shouldn’t feel like a wrestling match.I wanted a changing pad that made things easier: one that kept babies comfy, helped eye contact (and giggles!), and even gave reflux babies a little lift. The result? Happier babies, calmer parents, and fewer outfit changes.At Hudu, our mission is simple: build smart, beautiful products that solve everyday problems and stand up to real family life (spills, tantrums, and all). We’re here to take the strain off your knees, your back — and your patience.We’ve come a long way from that soggy towel moment, and we’re just getting started. As our family of products grows, so does our community — and we’re so glad you’re part of it.
