  • If you are a young girl, you should be already
    familiar with the term 'periods'. This monthly
    biological function starts at the age of puberty
    and also indicates that a girl is not pregnant.
    In most societies where basic amenities are
    available, the girls who are on their period
    generally receive tampons or pads from their
    parents or guardians.
  • Thus it makes the uncomfortable process more
    bearable for many young ladies. However, in many
    rural communities in India, young girls are not
    lucky enough to have access to tampons or pads on
    a regular basis. Due to this, they are forced to
    use various materials such as t-shirts, layered
    cloths or even toilet paper to soak up the
    menstrual blood.

  • Most of the rural girls miss their school because
    they do not feel comfortable and confidant during
    these days and consequently they prefer to stay
    at home. Various initiatives have been
    implemented to change this condition in rural
    India. They hand out free sanitary pads to young
    girls who are studying in rural schools to help
    them overcome the situation. 
  • Menstruation and menstrual practices are clouded
    by taboos and socio-cultural restrictions for
    women as well as adolescent girls in India. Rural
    women living in India have limited access to safe
    sanitary products and facilities. This is said to
    be one of the reasons for constrained school
    attendance, high dropout rates and ill health due
    to infection. In order to overcome this
    difficulty, many brands have introduced low cost
    and best safe sanitary napkins in India.

  • Best sanitary napkins in India are available in
    several states including Tamilnadu, Haryana,
    Bihar, Rajasthan and Puducherry. They have
    already taken similar initiatives to promote
    menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls.
  • There are 150 districts identified in the first
    phase which include 30 from the four southern
    States, Maharashtra and Gujarat and 120 from
    northern, central and the north-eastern States.

  • The Centre obtains the napkins and supplies
    these to the States during the first year and
    that in turn sends these to Accredited Social
    Health Activists (ASHA) in the districts for
    distribution on a monthly basis. Sometimes, the
    schools will become distribution points for the
    students.
  • Some parents from rural areas may not be able to
    afford money for pads and tampons. Hence, they
    may prefer washable pads for their daughter. ASHA
    has taken the initiative to demonstrate to the
    pupils on how to use sanitary pads during their
    periods. They provide each pupil with two pads
    and five additional cloths to occasionally
    replace and wash.

  • Some students even opt to take extras for members
    of their families at home. After three months,
    the students who have taken the pads will go
    through a trial period and report back to their
    teacher.
  • They then inform their teachers about its comfort
    and also tell about the adjustments which are
    required. The activists ask some questions to do
    extensive research on these products and thus
    improve on the pads at a later stage to produce
    the best Thin sanitary napkins in India.
