Enhancing reproductive health knowledge among adolescents is crucial to prevent unwanted pregnancies. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the "Reproductive Health Pillow T-Shirt GIRL" educational media using the Research and Development (R&D) method. This interactive media was designed in collaboration with professional fashion designers and media experts. A quasi-experimental study with a control group was conducted involving 98 adolescent girls aged 13–15 years in junior high schools in Jakarta. The intervention group utilized the "Pillow T-Shirt," while the control group received lectures using audiovisual aids. Results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge among the intervention group compared to the control group. This media shows promise as a standard educational tool for reproductive health in schools.
