How Often Should You Change Your Pad? Tips for Safe Menstrual Hygiene

In many parts of rural India, particularly in regions like rural Maharashtra, menstruation is still shrouded in stigma, misinformation, and limited access to proper menstrual hygiene products. These barriers not only impact the health of adolescent girls and women but also hinder their education, confidence, and social participation. At Green Wave Hygiene, we are committed to breaking this cycle with our eco-friendly, biodegradable sanitary napkins a solution designed with both sustainability and social impact in mind.

Addressing the Menstrual Health Crisis in Rural India
Despite growing awareness, a large percentage of women in rural India still rely on unsafe alternatives like cloth, ash, or husk during their periods. These practices not only cause infections and long-term reproductive health issues but also keep girls away from school and women from work. Through our CSR initiatives, Green Wave Hygiene is working to make a tangible difference. We collaborate with NGOs, CSR programs, and educational institutions to ensure that affordable, biodegradable sanitary pads reach the hands of those who need them the most. By doing so, we aim to strengthen menstrual health awareness and ensure menstrual equity in underprivileged and underserved areas.
