Smriti Singh was alarmed to learn that several girls and women in her village were using ash, wheat stubble and tattered rags during menstruation because they could not afford or access sanitary pads.
Experts warn that prolonged use of sanitary pads, especially in humid climates, can disrupt the vaginal microbiome, leading to bacterial vaginosis. Moringa-infused pads may offer a solution due to their anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
'Natural ingredients like moringa, which have well-documented antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, can play a significant role in improving menstrual comfort and intimate hygiene.'
