In many parts of the world, women have no idea about the importance and ways to maintain Menstrual Hygiene. The study reveals that every day around 800 million women menstruate. The social stigma and taboos related to the menstruation cycle often stop women from attending school and office. Women who attend their school, office, and events during the menstruation cycle lack sanitized washrooms, unavailability of period products, lack of handwashing facilities doesn’t allow women to show total efficiency towards their work. Menstrual Hygiene Day is celebrated to create awareness regarding the importance of Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM). Many NGOs, private companies, and government companies celebrate Menstrual Hygiene Day; and state the importance of Menstrual Hygiene to women during periods.
After the outbreak of Covid-19, there has been a rise in Period Poverty. Lack of period products during menstruation forces women to use dirty clothes, sandbags, dry leaves, ashes, and newspapers to avoid period stains. Using the substitute of the period products increases the risk of getting various menstrual disorders. Due to a lack of period education, many women are unaware of the period products available in the shops; they don’t know about the menstrual disorders they might get due to menstrual hygiene management. To increase the awareness regarding the importance of Menstrual Hygiene Management, Stree Sanman is making continuous efforts to provide easy access to sanitary napkins through the Sanitary Napkin Vending Machine. Stree Sanman has also launched MyKit- Suvidha, a menstrual hygiene kit that contains monthly period essentials.

- Sanitary Napkins (14)
- Sanitary Napkin Disposal Bags (14)

Premium Stree Sanman Sanitary Napkins:
When a woman travels to different places due to some work and stays there for a few days during the menstruation cycle, she is concerned whether the site she is visiting will provide her easy access to sanitary napkins. Lack of access to sanitary napkins during periods creates tension and a feeling of embarrassment for women. MyKit-Suvidha will provide premium quality hygienic napkins to women during periods. As the period lasts for 5 to 7 days every month, MyKit-Suvidha will provide 14 Sanitary Napkins.
Sanitary Napkin Disposal Bags:
The problem of Menstrual Waste Disposal Management is a problem that can be observed in many parts of the country. The unavailability of dustbins in public and private toilets forces many women to flush the sanitary napkins, further increasing blockage problems and making the washroom unhygienic. Additionally, some women keep hygienic napkins in the corner of the toilet. It becomes very unclean for the washroom cleaners to clean the bathroom by increasing the risk of getting affected by various hazardous diseases. MyKit-Suvidha is provided with 14 Sanitary Napkin Disposal bags that will prevent women from flushing the used sanitary napkins and keep the used sanitary napkins in open spaces.
Wet tissues:
During the Menstruation Cycle, when a woman changes her pad, it is essential to wash her vagina because the organism clings to her body. In rural and slums areas where water supply is an issue, it gives rise to unhygienic practices for women during periods. MyKit-Suvidha will help women with 14 wet tissues to maintain hygiene in the intimate areas during periods. Even if women have no access to water during periods, MyKit-Suvidha will help you keep your private area clean and remove the organism from your body.
Sanitizer:
Lack of handwashing facilities increases the chances of contracting various diseases. Simple washing hands under running water without using soap and liquid handwashing doesn’t remove the germs and bacteria from hands altogether. When we touch our face with the same hands, germs can enter through the nose, eyes, and mouth, which can cause various diseases. Using Sanitizer when there are no handwashing facilities is the best and easiest way to protect yourself from multiple infections during menstruation. MyKit-Suvidha will provide you with one 15ml Sanitizer to make your hands clean and make you feel fresh.
Dry tissues:
MyKit-Suvidha will help you with 14 dry tissues that will help you to keep your hands dry and clean. Dry tissue will help you when there is an unavailability of tissues.
Summing up:
Menstrual Hygiene Day is celebrated to increase awareness regarding the importance of maintaining menstrual hygiene during periods. Stree Sanman has launched MyKit-Suvidha that will provide you with a monthly menstrual hygiene kit. It consists of Sanitary Napkins, Disposal Bags, Wet tissue, Dry tissue, and 15ml Sanitizer.
