‘Sanitary Pads’ an essential item for women during periods. It is one of the hidden items that many women feel shy to purchase in many parts of the world. We all know what a sanitary pad or sanitary napkin is, but many women are unaware of the product and continue to use the other substitute of it. A sanitary pad pack is often sold by wrapping it in a newspaper or putting it in a black plastic bag. People’s mentality towards the sanitary napkin is not appropriate, and women get worried about the derogatory comments people might give to her when they come to know that she is carrying a pack of the sanitary napkin. Many organizations distributed sanitary pads to women residing in rural or village areas.

It’s time to change the mentality of people towards sanitary napkins. It must be termed as crucial as other products that are essential for living a healthy life. Women who often use dirty clothes, ashes, dry leaves, and sandbags; get attack by various menstrual disorders that include irritation, rashes, and infection in the intimate area. Some are curable; others last longs for a lifetime.
