Biological Fact Of Women's Life
About a quarter of India’s population bleeds for an average of five days every month throughout their reproductive years(15-49 Yrs).
In 21st Century India
It is hard for us to imagine the plight of millions of young girls and women in rural India to obtain something as basic as their monthly need for a safe and hygienic sanitary pad.
Also, generation of Rural women in India are shy of talking about menstruation.
Of the 35 million Indian women residing in rural India- only 36% use sanitary pads.
About 70% of the families find the sanitary pads available in the market out of their budget.
The market has not been catering to needs of this segment since the limited paying capacity affords little or no profits for the manufacturer.
