Why Should you use menstrual pads?

Menstrual  pads are used to absorb menstrual discharge and can be easily carried in your handbags. A lot of period products have been launched like a tampon, mensuration cups but pads or napkins are the ones which girls feel more comfortable using.

Whereas in India there are a lot of women who cannot afford napkins and they have mindset of buying a napkin is an unnecessary expense but this is the most important thing you should have in your home. Women staying in rural areas are used to clothes instead of using pads but using clothes may lead to ovary cancer. So kindly spread awareness to use napkins to the people around you and kindly volunteer with some NGOs so that you can spread awareness at a wider range and help the women who are unable to afford napkins.
