Maintaining feminine hygiene during mensuration cycle is a must and use of sanitary napkins is recommended for that. The practice however comes with both pros and cons. In India, majority of the women, especially in rural areas, find sanitary pads a luxury as they don’t have access to them. On the other hand, the stain-free pads urban women take refuge in and find so convenient are non-compostable and serve as an environmental hazard.

To offer a solution to both problems, some organisations have now come up with disposable, reusable and earth-friendly organic pads. These sanitary napkins are easily available, and can be of help to both the environment and the menstruating women.
