Sanitary napkin or as it is commonly called 'sanitary pad' is an absorbent personal care product worn by women to absorb the uterine flow while she is menstruating. India is a country where most women resort to pads made out of cotton cloth as a homemade and inexpensive solution to the hygiene and comfort needs during periods.

These pads apart from being menac to menstrual hygiene also lack the absorbing and liquid retention capacity of sanitary napkin or any other such product. recent studies suggest that the practice of using cloth during periods puts the woman in an extreme risk of cervical cancer. Being aware of the problem, the government begin taking measures to promote menstrual hygiene and sanitary products among the poor and less privileged.this initiative of the government funded by improved reach of communication service and technology, continuous education and marketing from big International brands.
