Eco-Conscious Menstruation: An Imperative Need Towards Sustainable Sanitary Pad

Abstract

Menstrual products aid in controlling menstruation safely and hygienically by absorbing period blood. Establishing rules for both reusable and disposable menstruation products is vital for empowering young girls to manage their periods effectively in any circumstance. However, in low-income countries, unsuitable menstrual hygiene management among schoolgirls has an influence on their education, dignity, and self-esteem. Girls those use conventional materials frequently report poorer concentration in order and greater truancy at school, emphasizing the importance of sustainable, effective, and sanitary menstruation products. Disposable menstrual products are designed to offer better performance and raise the level of everyday convenience. There have been significant efforts to assess the potential risks linked with the usage of these hygiene pads. This comprises hazard identification, hazard characterization, exposure assessment, risk classification, and post-market risk management. Despite these measures, there are still worries about chemical exposure from disposable hygiene pads. To address these issues, further clinical testing and post-market surveillance are needed to continuously monitor any potential health impacts of the sophisticated goods and their constituents.
