Go to the shopIn my years of experience, I have seen many young women and girls struggling with menstruation issues such as vaginal allergies, skin irritation, chafing, dryness, and rashes. These ailments can often be directly linked to the use of disposable sanitary napkins, which contain many chemicals and plastics. Recent studies have pointed out the presence of harmful chemicals like dioxins, phthalates, and volatile organic compounds in disposable sanitary napkins. The skin in that area is very sensitive and permeable, and with continuous exposure, these chemicals may be absorbed into the bloodstream, potentially causing cancer, infertility, hormonal dysfunction, endometriosis, and many other health issues.
In such a scenario, I advocate for all menstruators to use reusable period products like reusable cotton pads and menstrual cups. For menstruators, especially young girls, who are hesitant about using menstrual cups, I believe reusable pads are a better option. Personally, I recommend using Saukhyam Reusable Pads.
Saukhyam pads are unique due to their use of banana fiber as an absorbent. Studies have proven the presence of pathogenesis-related proteins with antimicrobial properties in banana fiber. It is a myth that reusable cotton pads are unhygienic and harsh on the skin. A simple hygienic cleaning is all that is required, and cotton is the most soft and breathable skin-friendly fabric you could ever find.
Period problems are not limited to having irregular menstruation, cramps, Premenstrual Syndrome(PMS) or any other mental or physical conditions. Accessibility to safe and hygienic period products that are affordable and convenient to use and dispose without harming people and the planet is a critical concern.
During our research we found that many women especially in urban areas are hesitating to switch to reusable cotton pads in fear of leakage, inconvenience in cleaning soiled pads at the workplace or because of the notion that reusable options are not safe. The rural women and girls were more concerned with the availability and affordability part.
Saukhyam pad's innovative blend of banana fiber, soft cotton and leak-proof layer are highly absorbent and safe for your body providing you worry-free comfort. It is easy to clean and dry. And some of the pad packs come with a wet bag, which can be used to keep soiled pads to be cleaned later. Through our unique production model, we create satellite production centers at remotest parts of India employing rural women to reach as many menstruators as possible.
