  Inappropriate disposal of menstrual waste is problematic for several reasons. The first reason arise from the fact that plastic sanitary napkins have replaced cloth napkins to a large extent.  Why should sanitary pads be disposed of properly? Disposing of sanitary napkins can be a difficult job.

During adolescence, nearly 60 percent women did not have any prior knowledge about menstrual periods. In fact, around 38 percent women had first misinterpreted it as an injury or disease. Ever since then there are some areas in India where people shy about talking periods. Women in the reproductive age group ought to be given proper data about period, and they ought to be told about the benefits of utilizing sanitary napkins. Health sector functionaries should play a proactive role in the convey of such information. Chirag Pan, CEO, PAN Healthcare, says, "Menstrual hygiene and wellness have been known issues in the Indian context. While there has been progress in recent years, it is imperative that we leverage our strength in the Indian value-based systems and inculcate the importance of good menstrual hygiene from the onset of puberty itself. Schools can and must pla
