Menstrual Hygiene Matters: Breaking the Silence for Safer, Healthier Periods
Menstrual Hygiene Matters: Breaking the Silence for Safer, Healthier Periods
Did you know that over 60% of women in India do not have access to safe and hygienic menstrual care products? According to a report by NFHS-5 (National Family Health Survey), only 57.6% of women aged 15–24 use sanitary protection during menstruation, leaving nearly half of the young female population vulnerable to infections, discomfort, and long-term reproductive issues. Despite being a natural biological process, menstruation is still shrouded in silence and stigma, especially in rural and underserved communities.
But menstrual hygiene is not just about using pads or tampons—it goes far deeper. It’s about maintaining intimate cleanliness before, during, and after menstruation, ensuring women can live their lives with dignity, comfort, and confidence.
In this blog, we uncover the hidden struggles women face due to poor menstrual hygiene, the underlying causes, and how MILDCARES Natural Intimate Hygiene Wash & Menstrual Cup Wash is revolutionizing feminine care with a dual-action solution enriched with 99.99% pure Tea Tree Oil & Aloe Vera.
The harsh reality of what poor menstrual hygiene can lead o
Many women across India and the world silently suffer due to inadequate menstrual hygiene. The effects are not just physical but also emotional and social.
Common Problems Faced by Women During and After Menstruation:
1. Vaginal Infections and UTIs: Poor hygiene can lead to bacterial and fungal infections such as Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Candidiasis, and Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), which are prevalent among menstruating women.
2. Rashes and Skin Irritation: Using low-quality pads or reusing cloth without proper washing and drying leads to rashes, itching, and swelling in the intimate area.
3. Reproductive Health Issues: In extreme cases, consistent poor hygiene contributes to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, and chronic reproductive infections.
4. Bad Odour and Social Embarrassment: Lack of regular cleansing during periods can cause an unpleasant odor, affecting women’s self-esteem and social interactions.
5. Disruption in Daily Life: Many girls drop out of school, and women miss workdays during menstruation due to pain, shame, or lack of hygiene facilities.
Why Does Poor Menstrual Hygiene Still Persist?
Despite growing awareness, several factors still contribute to unsafe menstrual practices:
1. Lack of Education: Taboos and myths around menstruation prevent open discussions, leaving many girls unaware of how to care for themselves properly.
2. Limited Access to Feminine Hygiene Products: Many rely on homemade alternatives like cloth, ash, or even leaves due to financial constraints or unavailability of products.
3. Inadequate Sanitation Facilities: Absence of clean water, toilets, and disposal mechanisms makes it difficult to manage menstruation hygienically, especially in rural areas.
4. Neglecting Intimate Area Care: Even among urban women, daily intimate hygiene is often overlooked due to lack of awareness or suitable products, especially during menstruation.
