Menstrual Hygiene

Menstrual hygiene is an important part of a woman’s health and well-being. Improper disposal of used menstrual pads can lead to serious health problems and environmental damage. To ensure the safety of women, it is essential to sensitize them to the best practices in the use of menstrual pads and safe ways to dispose of or reuse reusable pads.

In order to spread awareness about menstrual hygiene, the Emildda Health And Development Initiative (EHDI) distributed free pads to those who needed them most. This initiative also helped educate people about the proper disposal of used menstrual pads and how to reuse reusable ones. It also encouraged people to adopt sustainable practices like using reusable or biodegradable sanitary napkins instead of disposable ones. By doing so, we can ensure that our environment is not polluted with plastic waste from the improper disposal of used menstrual products.

Properly washing reusable pads is essential to ensuring the longevity of your product as well as the health and safety of both you and your underwear. After every use, it is important that you wash your pads with warm water and a mild detergent before air-drying them away from direct sunlight. Additionally, switching out or thoroughly cleaning any reversible inserts at least once every other week will ensure that your pads retain their shape and fabric integrity for a longer period of time. To further extend their life span, avoid using bleach or fabric softeners on them, as these can cause damage to the fabric, decreasing the lifespan.
