Meeting BAREN
――Please tell us how you came to know about BAREN.
I was searching for various care hats on the internet, and I found BAREN's homepage through Google. At that time, I wasn't using Instagram, so I found it through an online search. Now, on the contrary, I started Instagram to see BAREN.
――What was your impression when you found BAREN through an online search?
Unlike other medical hats, it had a stylish impression and didn't look like something for patients. I was also interested because it was my first time seeing a scarf hat.
Comparison with other products
――Before meeting BAREN, did you purchase any other companies' medical hats?
I bought one full wig and a few really cheap ones that are like 100% cotton medical hats to wear only at home.
――How did BAREN differ from those medical hats?
BAREN's scarf hat looks completely different. It looks just like a regular hat, so I can wear it confidently when going out. Other medical hats tend to give off a 'I'm undergoing treatment' vibe, but BAREN's hats look naturally stylish, which is great.
Actual Experience of Using BAREN's Medical Hats
――How did you find wearing BAREN's hats?
BAREN's medical hats are the easiest to put on and take off, and their usability for quick outings is really good. Since my range of activities isn't very wide, I currently use them mainly around the house and for drop-offs and pick-ups. My mom friends have given positive feedback, and when I confide in them, they are often really surprised or say they had no idea.
――Please tell us about your current treatment situation and how BAREN's hats are helping you.
I am currently undergoing treatment and have not yet returned to work. I was working freelance, so I plan to resume work once my treatment stabilizes. In the meantime, BAREN's hats have been a real help. They can be worn naturally for quick outings like dropping off and picking up my child, which has made me feel much more at ease. Even with my child's energetic movements, they don't come off, and unlike wigs, they only need to be adjusted slightly, which provides a completely different sense of security.
Deciding Factor for Participating in the Fitting Event
――Please tell us the reason you participated in the BAREN fitting event this time.
I saw the fitting event announcement on LINE and thought I wouldn't know until I actually tried it on. I did like the black hat I bought online, but I wanted to try other options as well. Even though returns are easy, the size was a bit tricky, so I decided to participate to try before purchasing.
Concerns about head size and the importance of trying on
――How did you find trying on other products at the fitting event?
Other products were also very cute, so I wanted them all, but I was still unsure about the size, especially between S and M. My head is small, measuring 50 centimeters. When I measured it myself, it didn't feel as small as I thought, but maybe I measured it incorrectly. I was unsure whether to choose S or M, so it was good to see them in person and try them on.
At the fitting events, the staff teach you how to measure, and you can actually try them on and get adjustments, so it's definitely worth participating. Once you know your size, you can confidently choose other colors and types.
Expectations and Requests for BAREN
――Please let us know if you have any expectations for products or services from BAREN in the future.
While it's good to have fitting events in various places, I feel it would be very convenient to have a place to try them on easily at hospitals or similar locations. Also, while the usability of the products is good, I would be happy if the little tips learned at the fitting events were introduced more clearly.

From Mr. M's story, I could sense the 'ease of use' and 'sense of security for everyday use' that BAREN's medical hats provide. In particular, the ease of putting on and taking off, as well as the usability for quick outings, are important points for those undergoing treatment.
BAREN's medical hats are loved by many not only for their stylish designs but also for their practicality as medical hats.
