Students of IIT Delhi on Tuesday, 20 August launched reusable sanitary pads made with composite banana fiber. The startup claims that these pads can last up to two years.
The reusable pad is developed by Archit Agarwal and Harry Sehrawat based on inputs from several IIT Delhi professors.
A patent has also been filed for the design. These reusable sanitary pads can be used up to 120 times after washing them in cold water with detergent after every use.
A Reusable Sanitary Pad is made up of four layers of different fabrics. A pack of two pads is priced at Rs 199.
"We have provided samples to authorities in African nations who are currently conducting test on them. We hope for a positive result very soon," Archit added.
